Aneal's supervisor can offer him a position on an individual contributor career track where he will still have increased responsibilities and recognition but not have to manage other employees. This option recognizes Aneal's skills and preferences, while still offering him a promotion. Forcing him into a supervisory role (B) or lowering his level of responsibility (D) may lead to job dissatisfaction and decreased productivity. Transferring him to another branch office (E) may not solve the issue of wanting to recognize Aneal's skills and capabilities. Option A is not a proactive solution.
