As a project manager, you've noticed that one of your team members, Sarah, consistently makes sound decisions and delivers high-quality work. You're considering giving her more decision-making authority within her area of expertise. What is the best approach to take in this situation?
Gradually increase Sarah's decision-making authority within her area of expertise while providing guidance and support
Do not increase Sarah's decision-making authority to avoid potential conflicts with other team members
Increase Sarah's decision-making authority only after she has completed additional training
Give Sarah complete autonomy in her decision-making within her area of expertise immediately
The correct answer is to gradually increase Sarah's decision-making authority while providing guidance and support. This approach allows you to empower Sarah and leverage her strengths while ensuring that she has the necessary support to succeed in her expanded role. It's important to provide clear expectations and boundaries for her decision-making authority and to monitor her progress closely, offering feedback and guidance as needed. The other options are less effective because they either fail to empower Sarah adequately (not increasing her authority at all) or do so too abruptly without providing the necessary support and guidance (giving her complete autonomy immediately).
