Thanks for the invite and it is a good question you have raised, MD .
Project Managers often face the kind of situation given. In my opinion option A is most appropriate solution.
Thank you for the invitation. My answer is option A
Thanks for invitation. In such a issue, different unit shall focus on achieving the final objectives and ensure that their unit's sub- objective is part towards achieving the final objective. Considering this background and to bring synergy, the option A is best choice
A. Accompany your team members along a sequence of maturity levels from dependence through independence to interdependence
My option is A, because this will helps to take unbiased decisions.
Option (A) is more apropriated.
I think accompanying the team members along a sequence of maturity levels from dependence through independence to interdependence will help overcome the crisis. Therefore A is appropriate.
FRUSTRATION MAY BE A SYMPTOM OF LACKING MOTIVATION. AS A SOLUTION MANAGEMENT SHOULD EMBARK ON TEAM BUILDING AND CAPACITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES MEANT TO BOOST THE MORALE OF EMPLOYEES.
Team memebrs should be motivated via several means, awarding their efforts, issuance of performance certificates and bonuses, motivational speeches, and most important training and workshops to help their current responsibilty
Answer A seems a better option, however there is an option open for the replacement depends on if nothing works out
The role of Project Manager is critical from planning till execution and completion of project. Alignment of team to the project objectives and goals, assigning clear roles and responsibilities, and assigning clear accountabilities to the tasks laid the foundation of a strong project framework. During execution, project monitoring should be done through project management tools such as GANT charts where performance is matched with the timelines and any deviations are managed through management / steering committee as the case may be.
The above scenario suggests lack of proper project management framework and the manager is functioning more in a fire fighting mode and more concerned with corrective measures rather than preventive measures. Need to project team structure and conduct gap analysis to identify and address the improvement steps
