As a project manager, you have noticed that one of your team members, who is usually highly engaged and productive, has recently become withdrawn and is missing deadlines. What leadership approach would be most appropriate to address this situation?
Provide the team member with additional resources to help them complete their tasks
Wait and see if the team member's performance improves on its own over time
Engage in a collaborative discussion with the team member to identify and address the root cause of their change in performance
Adopt a directive leadership style, clearly outlining expectations and consequences for missed deadlines
In this scenario, a collaborative leadership style would be most effective. This approach involves working closely with the team member to identify the root cause of their change in behavior and performance. By engaging in open communication and actively listening to their concerns, you can work together to find a solution that addresses their needs while ensuring project objectives are met. A directive leadership style (Answer A) may be too harsh and could further demotivate the team member. Simply providing additional resources (Answer B) without understanding the underlying issue may not resolve the problem effectively. Ignoring the situation (Answer D) could lead to further performance decline and negatively impact the project.
