Feelings Towards the Unaccountable Team Member: The lack of accountability from
this team member created frustration and resentment among the rest of the team. It
felt unfair that the burden of the project was falling on the responsible members
while the unaccountable member seemed to evade their responsibilities.
1. Private Discussion: First, the team leader had a private discussion with the
unaccountable team member to understand the reasons behind their behavior
and offer support if needed.
2. Setting Clear Expectations: The team leader reiterated the importance of
accountability and the consequences of not meeting expectations, making it
clear that the entire team's success was at stake.
3. Monitoring Progress: The team leader started closely monitoring the team
member's progress, providing additional assistance and resources when
necessary.
4. Offering Help: The team members who were performing well also offered to
help the struggling team member with their tasks and shared tips for
improving productivity.
Despite these efforts, the unaccountable team member's behavior did not improve
significantly. Eventually, the team leader escalated the issue to higher management,
and additional measures were taken to address the situation effectively.
