team member

 Your project team is on its way to finish work on the project, while you have the impression that a staff member is already negotiating the next assignment in another project. You are afraid that the person may come under pressure to start working on the other job before she has finished her work for your project. Her task is very complex, and it would be hard for someone else to take up the partial results and finish them. What action is most likely to resolve the situation?

 

o Have a private meeting with the person and discuss your observations. Make the person aware of the contract and of the legal consequences of unfinished work.
o Have a meeting with the entire team and discuss the person’s expected early leave. Use team dynamics to buy in the commitment from the person to finish work orderly.
o Use your network of project managers to find another assignment for the person which allows for smooth transition and does not conflict with your needs.
o Ignore your observations and let the team member do her job. It is quite uncommon that staff drops work for a project before it is completely finished.

 Thanks Admin..I normally do search...but somehow I may have missed it. I guess after reading the post you shared, I don't think I still have the concrete answer :(
