1. Question 1361 · 1401 in bank

   A key project stakeholder who was a big supporter and motivator for the project team is leaving the organization. The project team is experiencing low morale and poor teamwork. What should the project manager do to improve morale?

   • AIdentify the wants and aspirations of the team
   • BBuild team connections and emotional bonds
   • CForge consensus through team participation
   • DSet goals and push the team to achieve the goals

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   I was thinking B as well, but here's what chatgpt has to say: B. Build team connections and emotional bonds. Building team connections and emotional bonds is critical for improving morale. By fostering a sense of camaraderie, trust, and open communication among team members, the project manager can create a supportive and positive work environment. This can be achieved through team-building activities, encouraging collaboration, facilitating regular team meetings, and promoting a culture of appreciation and recognition. While the other options (A, C, and D) are also important factors in improving morale, building team connections and emotional bonds addresses the immediate need for the team to feel supported, connected, and motivated despite the departure of a key stakeholder. This approach helps to alleviate the negative impact on morale and foster a stronger sense of unity and teamwork within the project.
