Assertive management is the correct posture for the project manager to assume when a matter of unscheduled leave impacts the project. But granting unscheduled leave places a greater burden on the project team as a whole. That fact must be assumed by the staff member asking for the leave, and it should be stated that the workload added to the remaining staff will delay or jeopardize the success of the project.
Denying the leave will probably not motivate the team member to meet milestone requirements with the same level of quality. It will motivate others on the team to stretch their capability if the value of missing team member is deemed worthy of that effort. This would be a factor in team building. It would not be justification for schedule slippage. |
