Project Management Professional (PMP) Practice Exam

What should managers consider before conducting a performance evaluation interview with a project team member?

1. Which management fallacies can most easily be delegated to the worker?

2. How can discussion of the manager’s leadership style be avoided?

3. Has the employee been provided with sufficient instructions and work tools?

4. How can dispute related to unsatisfactory performance be avoided?

The correct answer is: Has the employee been provided with sufficient instructions and work tools?

Before conducting a performance evaluation interview, managers should consider whether the team member has been provided with sufficient instructions and work tools. This is important because the evaluation should focus on the team member's performance and not on external factors that may have impacted their work. Option A is incorrect because the focus should not be on delegating management fallacies, but on the individual's performance. Option B is incorrect because discussions about the manager's leadership style may be relevant to the evaluation. Option D is incorrect because disputes related to unsatisfactory performance should be addressed during the evaluation, not avoided.
