*
Explode and blame the lead and their team for the mistakes, lack of preparedness, organization, and communication, then reschedule the client meeting.
Not say anything and delegate tasks among available team members to divide the remaining workload and expedite completion while maintaining quality.
Pause, take a deep breath, and acknowledge your emotions about addressing the issue, such as fear, frustration, or anxiety. Recognize that this challenge is an opportunity for growth and leadership, and understand that it will require a more challenging conversation to find the best path forward.
