What is your approach to coaching team members who are performing below their full potential?
As a project manager, you are also a team leader. It is your responsibility to get the most you can out of the members of your team. This process starts with good hiring, consistent development of skills and experience, and frequent coaching and mentoring. You should be able to discuss this based on your experience executing this critical skill.
"I take pride in my ability to keep my team on task and working to their full potential. I make sure I hire the people with the appropriate skills for the type of projects we work on, provide them with the training and resources necessary to do their job, and then frequently coach and mentor them. I create an environment where mistakes are tolerated as long as they become learning opportunities. I also recognize high achievers and partner them with people who could use additional skills development."
