As a project manager, you notice that a team member is consistently failing to complete their assigned tasks on time, causing delays in the project schedule. What is the most effective approach to address this situation and support team task accountability?
Wait for the team member to improve their performance on their own, as they may be going through a temporary challenge
Reassign the team member's tasks to other team members who have a track record of completing tasks on time
Escalate the issue to higher management and request that they intervene and address the team member's poor performance
Schedule a one-on-one meeting with the team member to discuss the issue, identify the root cause, and collaboratively develop a plan to improve their performance
The most effective approach is to have a one-on-one conversation with the team member to understand the root cause of the issue and collaboratively develop a plan to address it. This approach allows for open communication, identification of any obstacles or challenges the team member may be facing, and the opportunity to provide support and guidance. Escalating the issue to higher management or reassigning tasks without addressing the underlying problem may demotivate the team member and fail to resolve the actual issue. Waiting for the team member to improve on their own may lead to further delays and does not actively support task accountability.
