Susan Is a Fast-Track Employee Slotted for a Vice-President Position

Essay

Susan is a fast-track employee slotted for a vice-president position. Her next job assignment is a foreign position in a South American country as director of your manufacturing division. Unfortunately, this position requires supervising foreign male managers who are largely opposed to supervision by females. To not send Susan on this assignment would "short-step" her promotion to vice-president, and possibly be viewed as discriminatory. How would you handle this ethical situation? Be specific.
