Salvaging a team project when a remote volunteer misses deadlines requires a mix of empathy, communication, and strategic adjustments. Begin by reaching out to the volunteer to understand the reason behind the delays—there might be personal challenges or unclear expectations at play. Offer support, such as breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts or adjusting deadlines if feasible. Reassign critical responsibilities to other team members while ensuring this shift doesn’t demotivate the volunteer or strain the team. Maintain transparency with the group about adjustments, emphasizing collective progress. By addressing the issue with understanding and restructured planning, you can keep the project on track.
