    PMP · Question 03 · Task 14: Promote team performance through the application of emotional intelligence

    A project manager notices that a high-performing team member has become withdrawn, is frequently absent from daily stand-ups, and the quality of their deliverables has declined over the past three weeks. Other team members have started expressing concerns about delays. Which TWO emotional intelligence competencies should the project manager primarily apply?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Self-awareness to recognize their own frustration with the team member's performance

    B.

    Self-management to control the impulse to immediately address the performance issues publicly

    C.

    Social awareness to recognize the team member's behavioral changes and emotional state

    D.

    Relationship management to have a private, empathetic conversation to understand the situation

    E.

    Motivation to inspire the team member through public recognition

    F.

    Empathy to understand how the team member might be feeling

    How to approach this question

    Identify the four core EI competencies (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management) and determine which ones directly address observing and responding to others' emotional states.

    Full Answer

    C,D
    Social awareness enables recognition of others' emotional states, while relationship management involves using that awareness to build connections and address issues appropriately.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing empathy with the formal EI competencies, or focusing on self-focused competencies rather than other-focused ones needed in this situation.
