How do you motivate a team when a project is behind schedule? Please use a specific example from your experience and explain how you assessed the cause of the delay, reset priorities, supported the team, and communicated with stakeholders. The interviewer is probing for calm leadership, practical prioritization, ownership, and the ability to maintain morale without creating unrealistic pressure. A strong response should use STAR, distinguish motivation from simply asking people to work longer, and show the measurable outcome.
