Your team is running behind schedule on a critical project. Team members are demotivated. What should you do as a team leader?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A good team leader addresses both morale and efficiency under pressure:
• Motivating the team helps overcome discouragement and boosts productivity.
• Redistributing the workload ensures tasks are balanced realistically without overwhelming individuals, helping the project get back on track.
Blaming the team reduces morale further, submitting incomplete work is unprofessional, and adding more people suddenly often causes communication overhead without solving immediate demotivation.
Therefore, the most appropriate course of action is to motivate the team and redistribute workload.
Correct Answer: Option (C)
