These are the practice questions a candidate sees before the Team Leader SJT starts. Have a go — the answer and an explanation appear after each one. Nothing is recorded.

A senior stakeholder has just sent you an email with some challenging feedback on your performance. Although you led the project referenced in the email, the specific task the senior stakeholder has taken issue with was completed by one of your team and not you. How do you respond to this?

Select the response you believe is MOST appropriate and the response you believe is LEAST appropriate.

MostLeast
Thank the senior stakeholder for the feedback but politely clarify what your involvement was with the task
As you led the project, discuss the feedback with the senior stakeholder and establish what you can do better
Discuss with your manager how to address the feedback and identify areas for improvement in your work
See if any of your colleagues have ever had similar feedback and ask how they dealt with it
