Selected Answer: B
The PM has been appointed to lead the team, both B and D are good options, but only B is outcome driven from the PM's standpoint, where meeting the team personally allows him to hone in on a leadership style to use with them.

Selected Answer: D
Scheduling a team-building activity helps create an environment where team members can get to know each other and the project manager in a relaxed and informal setting. This can help build trust and rapport, which are essential for effective teamwork. Meeting personally with team members allows the project manager to understand the individual strengths, weaknesses, and dynamics within the team. This knowledge is crucial for effectively managing and leveraging the diverse skills of both senior and junior professionals. Team-building activities encourage collaboration and communication among team members, helping to break down barriers and create a more cohesive team. This is particularly important in a team with varying levels of experience.
