Addressing a team member's feeling of lack of skills is best approached by discussing their growth and development needs and providing appropriate learning opportunities. This aligns with the principles of supporting continuous professional development and building competencies within the team. By engaging in a dialogue about the team member's aspirations and challenges, the project manager can tailor a development plan that includes training, mentorship, or stretch assignments to help the team member acquire the necessary skills and confidence to handle new tasks. This approach not only addresses the immediate issue of demotivation but also contributes to the team member's long-term growth and the overall capability of the team.
