You are asked to lead a group at the law firm. The group will perform a client file transition project, wherein each file dating before 2006 will be electronically scanned and destroyed. Considering the importance of client confidentiality and effective record-keeping, this project is very important. Each week, you assign specific tasks to paralegals, legal assistants, IT professionals, and administrative assistants to ensure the work is completed.

J is a member of the team, but has failed to contribute to the project. J continually provides late or incomplete work, and makes rude comments during the team meetings.

How do you address J? Explain the method you will use (in person, email, formal memo, etc.) and how you will address this issue.
