PMP Practice: Determine an appropriate leadership style
Ravi Sundaram is managing a predictive project to upgrade the security infrastructure for Cascade Biotech Labs across fifteen global offices. During a team meeting, two senior engineers—Miles Okafor-Lindgren and Deepika Venkatesh—present conflicting technical approaches. Dante, who has twenty years of experience with the firm, advocates for a vendor solution the company has used successfully before. Maya, recently hired from a cutting-edge cybersecurity startup, proposes an open-source framework she claims will provide superior flexibility. The debate becomes heated, with Dante questioning Maya's understanding of the firm's legacy systems and Maya suggesting Dante is resistant to innovation. Other team members have stopped contributing and appear uncomfortable. The project is currently on schedule, but this decision must be made within three days to avoid delaying the procurement phase. What should Lila do to most effectively address this situation?
