Mary scores high in the need for power, which indicates a desire to control and influence others. This trait often goes hand in hand with a desire to lead and take charge. Additionally, Mary's lack of affiliation needs means she may be less concerned with maintaining positive relationships with coworkers and more focused on achieving goals, making her a good candidate for taking charge in the boss's absence.
