A team member is always late to work.

 Force/direct is a conflict resolution technique in which one party imposes their solution on the other party, without considering their views or interests. This technique is often used when there is a need for quick action, or when the issue is not important enough to warrant a more collaborative approach. In this situation, the project manager used force/direct to resolve the conflict with the new team member, by telling them what to do and expecting compliance, without discussing the reasons or consequences of their behavior. References: = Conflict Resolution Techniques in Project Management, Managing conflict - project environment - Resolution Strategies
