How do you go about assessing your team members' strengths and delegating work to each member of your project team?

Accurately assessing the strengths of your team will help you to properly delegate project tasks, better ensuring that your project runs smoothly, on time, and remains on budget. Assure the interviewer that you have the strength in leadership and delegation required to succeed in this role.

"I have taken coursework in Team Management, which has been very helpful over the years as a Construction Project Manager. When assessing a team members' strengths and then delegating the work to them, I have a series of questions that I go through. Everyone is put through the same benchmarks to ensure fairness and clarity in my decisions. First, I ask what knowledge, skills, and attitude does the person bring to the job? Next, how independent is the person on a scale of 1-10? I also ask if the person has the time to take on more work, and if delegating new tasks will mean reshuffling other responsibilities and workloads. I believe it's critical to assess all of these facets before making delegation decisions."
