Question 1.Employees are not showing interest in meetings and discussion". Why do you
think such a culture exists in the company? Share your views.
Answer
In today's commerce, the underperformance of employees has to turn into a budding predicament
and a regular discussion topic in board meetings. As directors assign work, frustrations run high
because employees should show good work. Employees fail to perform due to various reasons,
and the main reason could be the managers that contribute to their subordinates' lack of
performance. Many employees could not perform well if they are not aware of the standards of
work they should maintain. If managers do not assist them to set goals then there can be no
motivation to achieve them. Without clear guidelines, employees can feel inclined to attend
either meeting or discussions.
Employees could be not showing interest due to the following reasons; Lack of punctuality from
the organizer, lack of clear agenda for the meeting, employees feeling of lack of involvement in
the decision-making process, no outputs generated, only the inputs are taken in the meeting,
multiple discussions in a single meeting among different groups, more oriented and lack of
interest towards personal goals, the team lacking bonding, and favoritism and personal grudges.
In any organization, both managers as well as the workers should work as a team to achieve the
company goals. But some staff is reluctant to work in the company. If the employees are not
showing interest and in the meetings and the discussions, the manager lacks leadership skills, and
such employees cannot cooperate with them. Although any company can give the authority to
manage projects, workers need to feel and get respected before they follow the directions.

Question2.What are the challenges Tim is facing to execute his project? Explain.
Answer
Projects are the development of basic building blocks. With no successful identification of
project, implementation, and preparation, development plans cannot be there and the developing
nation would stay stagnant. Project management is a complex and comprehensive working field
that requires extensive practice expertise, knowledge and skills. International evaluation
commission's recent assessment of development planning and administration highlights the
importance of well-executed and prepared projects. In the development process, projects
translate plans into actions, and as economic and social change vehicles they can give mobilizing
and allocating resources means to the new economic production of social services and goods.
The main obligation of a project manager is obtaining positive results and handling difficult
projects. For a complex project, the project manager works hard daily. A project manager should
possess skills in decision making, communication, risk-taking, and delegation. According to the
PMI research, every $1B invested In the US, $122m, was wasted because of the lack of project
planning. Regarding the scope, client, and objective, each project is unique.
To execute his project, Tim as the project manager is facing various challenges. He is working
with a group of people who are aged and who tend to work in their timelines and own ways.
Tim's teammates are prioritizing personal activities more than the activities of the company and
by the attitude of the team, towards meetings indicate that they are not willing to accept Tim as a
project manager and lastly in the company, there are Ego clashes due to thought differences and
age differences.
