Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1377

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?

Answer options

• A. Identify the wants and aspirations of the team
• B. Build team connections and emotional bonds
• C. Forge consensus through team participation
• D. Set goals and push the team to achieve the goals

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Building team connections and emotional bonds is crucial for restoring morale, especially after the departure of a supportive stakeholder. While identifying aspirations (A), forging consensus (C), and setting goals (D) are important, they do not directly address the immediate need for emotional support and cohesion that can uplift team spirits.
