Before taking any specific actions, the project manager should assess the situation and understand the dynamics of the team. This includes studying the team's composition, individual strengths and weaknesses, communication styles, and overall work environment. Determining the most effective leadership style for the team is a crucial step in addressing performance issues. This approach allows the project manager to tailor their leadership strategies to the specific needs and characteristics of the team members, fostering a more effective and collaborative work environment.

Ans A vs D Debatable. While D is a strategic step, and could take long time, But there is an immediate problem in hand to resolve. So A might be the first thing to do, while assessing D as the lead understands the team.
