Problem: A project manager has been appointed to lead a project but has not previously worked with the project team members. The project manager notices that the team is a mix of senior and junior professionals. What should the project manager do to start establishing a successful relationship?
- Schedule a team-building activity and start meeting personally with the project team members.
- Establish authority in the team by setting ground rules and key performance indicators (KP|s)
- Schedule one-on-one meetings with the project team members to coach them on how to do their work better based upon previous experience.
- Start speaking with each team member separately to understand their needs and personal goals to determine a leadership style.
