In a project retrospective, a reserved junior team member unexpectedly suggests a valuable process improvement. You want to nurture their confidence and initiative without overwhelming them. As the project manager, what mentoring action would best foster their development?
Privately acknowledge their contribution and explore their interest in spearheading a targeted process improvement effort.
Organize a team-wide recognition event to publicly acknowledge their feedback and enhance their visibility in the team.
Place them on a new committee formed to oversee process improvements, allowing them to contribute among more experienced colleagues.
Conduct a broad career development meeting to discuss various roles they might consider in the future, including but not limited to process improvement.
