Your project has a virtual team. Half of your team members are located in another country, where they are working for a subcontractor. You want to promote the top performing foreign team member to a leadership position, but you are told by the other team members that women are not allowed to hold positions of authority. When you bring it up with their manager, you are informed that it is the subcontractor's policy not to promote women, and that in their country, it is culturally considered offensive for a man to take orders from a woman. What is the BEST way to respond to this situation?

Do nothing, because discrimination against women is a cultural norm in the subcontractor's country

Request that the team attend sensitivity training

Promote another team member, but find a different way to reward the woman for her work
