PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
In PRINCE2, what is the recommended leadership style for a Project Manager when dealing with a team that has high competence and low commitment?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'Supporting' with 'Coaching' because both involve supportive behaviors, but coaching is specifically for building competence, not for addressing low commitment in an already competent team.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Supporting
In PRINCE2, the recommended leadership style for a Project Manager when the team has high competence but low commitment is Supporting (S3). This is because the team already possesses the necessary skills and knowledge (high competence) but lacks motivation or confidence (low commitment), so the PM should focus on encouraging, praising, and involving them in decision-making rather than providing technical direction or close supervision.
