During execution of a project, you observe that the performance of some of your team members is dropping, while others are doing a consistently good job. This is endangering overall project progress. What should you try first to bring the team as a whole back to performance?

It's important to understand the root cause of any issue before taking action. By researching the causes of the team's bad performance and soliciting feedback, you can gain valuable insights into the underlying problems. This can help you find more effective and targeted solutions, rather than just trying a blanket approach like organizing a meeting or introducing a competition. Also, allowing the team to problem solve on their own may not be the best option as it could lead to further delays and issues with the project progress. As a project manager, it's important to take a proactive approach in identifying and addressing problems within the team.
