During a critical project meeting, you notice that one of the key stakeholders, who usually holds an assertive and decisive personality, appears unusually reticent and disengaged. Based on the analysis of personality indicators, what should be your next step to address this change?
Continue the meeting as usual and discuss the issue later in a team email.
Immediately ask the stakeholder to explain their behavior in front of everyone to clarify their position.
Assign someone else to take over their responsibilities assuming they are no longer interested.
Privately discuss any concerns with the stakeholder to understand their current state better.
The correct answer is to privately discuss any concerns with the stakeholder, because direct communication can help uncover personal or project-related issues affecting their behavior without putting them on the spot in a public setting. This personalized approach respects their usual assertive nature and addresses their current emotional state. The other options do not directly engage with the emotional shift observed and might not provide the insights needed to effectively support the stakeholder.
