As a project manager, you have assigned specific tasks to each team member. During a team meeting, you notice that one team member consistently fails to provide updates on their assigned tasks and misses deadlines. What should you do to address this situation?
Reassign the team member's tasks to another team member who has demonstrated better task accountability.
Immediately escalate the issue to senior management and request that the team member be removed from the project.
Ignore the issue and hope that the team member will improve their performance on their own.
Schedule a one-on-one meeting with the team member to discuss their performance and understand the reasons behind their lack of accountability.
The correct answer is to schedule a one-on-one meeting with the team member to discuss their performance and understand the reasons behind their lack of accountability. This approach allows for a private and constructive conversation to identify any challenges or obstacles the team member may be facing and develop a plan to address them. Ignoring the issue or immediately escalating it to senior management may not be the most effective way to resolve the situation and could potentially demotivate the team member. Reassigning the tasks to another team member without addressing the root cause of the problem may not solve the underlying issue and could lead to resentment within the team.
