Handling Difficult Situations with Team Members: Management Trainee Interview Question

During a project in which I was involved, there was a challenging situation with a team member that required careful handling. The team member was not meeting deadlines and was causing delays in the project delivery.

My approach to resolving the situation involved:

  1. Having a private conversation with the team member to understand their challenges and reasons for the behavior.
  2. Setting clear expectations and goals for the team member to adhere to going forward.
  3. Offering support and guidance to help the team member meet the project requirements.
  4. Regularly monitoring the team member's progress and providing feedback along the way.
  5. Ensuring open communication channels for the team member to express any difficulties they may encounter.

Through these steps, I was able to address the issue effectively and help the team member improve their performance, leading to successful project completion.
