Team Member Responsibilities:** * **Team Member A (Logistics):** Primarily responsible for delays related to materials transportation and delivery. * **Team Member B (Installation):** Primarily responsible for delays stemming from technical issues during the installation process. * **Team Member C (Environment):** Primarily responsible for delays related to environmental regulations and procedures. **3. Reasoning:** * **Delegation of tasks:** While you delegated specific responsibilities, you remain ultimately accountable for the project's success. * **Directly linked to outcomes:** Each team member's role is directly linked to the successful completion of the project. * **Non-delegatable:** While you delegated tasks, the responsibility for addressing the delay falls on you as the supervisor, and you need to determine the specific cause to re-assign responsibility to the relevant team member(s). **4. Resolution Plan:** * **Investigate the delay:** Meet with each team member to gather information about the delay and understand the contributing factors. * **Identify the source of the delay:** Determine whether the delay is due to logistics, installation, or environmental compliance issues. * **Assign responsibility:** Based on the identified source, assign responsibility to the relevant team member(s) for addressing the delay. * **Develop a solution:** Work collaboratively with the team member(s) responsible to develop a plan for resolving the delay and ensuring the project stays on track. * **Communicate clearly:** Inform all team members of the situation, the plan for addressing the delay, and the responsibilities of each individual.
