Can you share a time when you had to handle a difficult coworker who was not pulling their weight on a team project, and how did you effectively address the situation to ensure the project's success and maintain a positive working relationship?

In a previous team project, I had a difficult coworker who was not meeting deadlines and contributing minimally to the project. I addressed the situation by having a one-on-one conversation with them to discuss their lack of participation and set clear expectations moving forward. I offered support and assistance to help them catch up and provided regular check-ins to monitor their progress. By addressing the issue directly and offering support, we were able to successfully complete the project while maintaining a positive working relationship.
