Project Management Professional Practice Question

A project manager leading a long-term, complex project consistently applies a single, directive leadership style with all team members, from senior architects to junior developers. During a project retrospective, several senior team members express frustration, stating they feel micromanaged. What does this situation primarily indicate about the project manager's approach?

  • The project manager is not adapting their leadership style to the varying experience levels and needs of the team.

  • A directive leadership style is the only way to ensure alignment on a complex project.

  • The senior team members are resistant to authority and are undermining the project's structure.

  • The project's ground rules were not properly established at the beginning of the project.
