Define roles and targets for all team members and regularly follow up with one-to-one meetings to review progress.
B.
Hand over control of specific aspects of their roles as experts and let them agree on their own timelines and targets.
C.
Work with the team members to define the overall objective and support them to engage around the goal.
D.
Bring in a senior colleague who is also an expert to ensure the team is on track to achieve the goals and objectives.
C is the correct answer, since these team members are highly skilled they do not need micromanagement but rather a clear definition of project objective and support when and where needed granting them full autonomy to utilize their skills towards the overall success of the project.
C
Involving the experts in defining the overall objective fosters a sense of ownership and commitment to the project. It encourages collaboration and engagement among team members, leveraging their expertise to create a shared vision.
