CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

This scenario demonstrates that leadership (inspiring people, providing vision) and management (planning, organizing, controlling resources) are distinct but complementary activities. Effective project managers need both skill sets to drive project success.

**Why not A:** The scenario explicitly shows Alexei performing two distinct activities: inspiring the team (leadership) and updating schedules and reallocating resources (management). These are complementary but different activities, not the same.

**Why not B:** The scenario demonstrates that both leadership and management are essential for project success. Stating that leadership is more important than management contradicts the balanced approach Alexei used effectively.

**Why not D:** Delegating all management to team leads would remove the project manager from critical planning and control activities. Effective project managers need to perform both leadership and management functions, not offload one entirely.
