How to answer

A good answer sounds like this.

Example answer

When addressing team members who are not contributing, it is important to remain professional and respectful. First, I would try to understand why the team member is not contributing, and provide support and guidance to help them overcome any challenges they might be having.

If the team member is not responding, I would then hold them accountable by setting clear expectations and outlining the consequences if the expectations are not met.

Finally, I would focus on providing positive reinforcement to the team members who are contributing and reward them for their hard work and effort.
