Question

Anne, a technician, is asked to immediately fix a CEO's tablet that is not connecting to the network, and she realizes it is missing its static IP settings. When she returns to her desk with the tablet to research the correct settings, the CEO comes over and berates her for walking away with the equipment. Which of the following is the BEST way to handle this situation?

Options

  • AHand the tablet back unfixed so the CEO is immediately appeased.
  • BPolitely explain the reason for removing the tablet and return it after inputting the settings.
  • CComplete the settings fix before handing the tablet to the CEO, then immediately inform her Manager.
  • DCalmly explain why she was correct for taking the tablet.

Explanation

CompTIA A+ emphasizes professionalism and effective communication. The correct approach is to calmly and politely explain the technical reason for removing the tablet (researching the correct static IP settings to avoid misconfiguration), then complete the fix and return it promptly. Returning it unfixed (A) fails to resolve the problem. Completing the fix and then immediately escalating to a manager (C) is unnecessarily confrontational and escalates the situation. Telling the CEO she was 'correct' without acknowledging their concern (D) is dismissive. The best response balances empathy, professionalism, and task completion.
