oneIf I was a Project Manager, what three qualities would I want.docxhopeaustin33688

If I was a Project Manager, what three qualities would I want? First and foremost, I would want to have the fortitude to accept my failures and the strength to drive forward despite of the failures. What made someone like Colonel Sanders (Kentucky Fried Chicken) successful? President Abraham Lincoln? Walt Disney? Vera Wang? All of these people were very successful people, but they also had many failures. So why were they successful? The answer is that they were not weak and crumbled at the first sign of failure. They were focused on their goal and they pushed forward to their success. That is the type of Project Manager I would like to be.
The second quality would be to communicate effectively. Have you ever had one of those bosses that you were always trying to figure out what he/she wants you to do? I have, and it came from lack of communication. As a Project Manager, I need to speak effectively so that there is absolutely no misunderstanding on what needs to be done.
Finally, I would want to have great people skills. A Project Manager needs to be able to listen actively to what others are saying, help develop new approaches for solving problems, and then persuade others to work toward achieving project goals (Schwalbe, K., 2013, p23). As a Project Manager, I would be working with people of different cultures. Understanding people will increase the chances of the project succeeding.
Any of the three characteristics above, either by themselves or in combination with each other, can also lead to project failure. So how do you become a great communicator, a great people person, and thick skinned? You work on it. Take a college course on communications or on people skills. Talk to your current employees and friends to get feedback from them on how you can improve. Then you devise a plan to start implementing their advice into your everyday life.

The three keys to Project Success seem to have the three factors that all successful projects have in common. Each of these factors is key to any project’s success. Each project can be viewed as a tripod. The three legs must be in place for the tripod to stand sturdily. In a systems project, these legs are critical success factors consisting of the following:
Top management support
A sound methodology
Solid technical leadership by someone who has successfully completed a similar project.
Additional characteristic in IT Project Management are, cost, quality, speed and risk. However it is not possible to have the best of all four factors. Specifically, you cannot have a system built inexpensively, of high quality, built quickly and with little or no risk. Most discussion of these factors only include the first three. It is possible to build a high-quality system quickly, at a relatively low cost by cutting corner and doing little or no testing.
Base on a research carried out by the Coverdale Organization (Cushing, 2002), the respondents identified estimation mistakes, uncle.
The document discusses lessons for project managers in their role. It identifies project management as an "accidental profession" for two reasons: 1) project managers are often not formally selected and trained, and 2) many individuals pursue project management without defining a clear career path. It then provides 12 guidelines for project managers to address common problems, such as understanding stakeholder expectations, using flexible leadership styles, and maintaining appropriate planning. The guidelines range from understanding the project context to effective time management.

It is very vital for managers and his team to learn how to communicate effectively and to aid in successfully completing projects and enable the organization to achieve success and grow. As if that is not enough, communication allows every employee to share what they have and give their opinions. Good communication yields better understanding and trust among people, empower them to follow core principles and values that their leaders want to inculcate in them (Armstrong & Michael, 2016). Lack or absence of excellent communication leads to failure to reach goals and the overall decline of the organization. Interacting with the team freely, a manager will increase the potential of having the work done in time. Good leaders are always aware that effective communication is obtained through just a single process. It is through listening and speaking that managers are said to have good communication. Managers should hence set aside objective that they must achieve after communicating.

There are five types of project power manager; formal or legitimate power, reward power, punishment power, expert power, and relational power. One can have all these powers, but to complete the project, I will need to have at least four of them (Heldman & Kim, 2018). Since am doing my final project on leading and managing the Human Resource project, I will consider expert and reward powers. Formal power will help me to establish my own authority as the lead of the project, while expert power will help me gain .

14.project manager characteristics By Allah Dad KhanMr.Allah Dad Khan
Project managers must possess several key characteristics to be effective leaders. They must have clear vision and goals for the project and communicate these effectively to stakeholders. They must also be enthusiastic and optimistic to motivate the team. Additionally, project managers must demonstrate competence in leadership skills and have the ability to delegate tasks and solve problems that arise. Finally, characteristics like being cool under pressure, having strong team-building skills, and being pragmatic and action-oriented allow project managers to guide projects successfully through challenges.
The key roles of a project manager include integrating processes, managing scope, cost and risks. Less visible but equally important roles are effective leadership and communication, which affect all visible roles. Research has largely focused on outwardly visible roles, neglecting leadership and communication. These "affective roles" are crucial for building relationships and maintaining success across all areas. Project managers must lead effectively and communicate well to achieve success in their other responsibilities.
This document discusses the many skills and personalities needed to be a successful project manager. It argues that project managers must be able to wear many hats and adapt their approach based on the situation. Specifically, it states that project managers need to be able to take on the roles of a bank manager, coach, mediator, psychic, leader, detective, police officer, runner, wise man, yoga teacher, and aerial photographer. The document emphasizes the importance of balancing budgets while allowing creativity, motivating diverse teams, enforcing rules while mitigating risks, remaining calm under pressure, understanding technical details while considering commercial success, and providing support and guidance during uncertain times.
The document discusses common pitfalls that projects often experience and provides tips to avoid them. It identifies four main pitfalls: [1] not creating a common vision upfront; [2] lack of organization and planning; [3] not involving the right stakeholders; and [4] reluctance to ask for help. For each pitfall, it offers recommendations such as developing a detailed project plan, engaging decision-makers, and leveraging lessons from prior similar projects. The overall message is that strong project management practices including clear communication and stakeholder management are key to avoiding chaos and delivering projects successfully.

The document explores the differences between soft skills and hard skills for project managers. Soft skills include communication, conflict resolution, and problem solving, which are important for managing people and relationships. Hard skills refer to technical abilities specific to an organization. While hard skills can be taught, soft skills are more difficult to measure. The nature of a project determines whether it requires more soft skills or a balance of soft and hard skills. Both skill sets are important for project managers, though soft skills may be more essential for leadership roles and achieving project goals that rely on teamwork and collaboration.
The document discusses the human factors involved in successful project management. It provides insights from research showing that only 16.2% of software projects finish on time and on budget, while 31.1% are canceled. User involvement, executive support, clear requirements, and proper planning are cited as key success factors. Project failures are often due to limited upfront planning and weak methodologies. The seminar will explore how to improve communications, requirements, and project results by considering human motivations beyond just tools and processes.
This document discusses the roles and skills of managers and leaders. It defines a manager as someone who coordinates and oversees the work of others to accomplish organizational goals. Managers can be classified as first-line, middle, or top managers. The key functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Henry Mintzberg identified 10 common managerial roles grouped into interpersonal, informational, and decisional categories. Leadership is defined as influencing a group towards achieving a goal. The document contrasts managers, who maintain the status quo, with leaders, who challenge it and do the right thing. Qualities of good leaders include a positive focus, continuous learning, strong self-esteem, and avoiding negative influences.

Dealing with Difficult People By Amir Parekh
1. Must-Have Skills For Project
Managers
An excellent project manager is well-versed in
his or her field. If you lack a basic
understanding of project management, you
may be unable to lead a team project. As a
project manager, you will be responsible for
overseeing numerous parts of a project.
2. Estimating Workload
Workload estimation is an essential skill for any project
manager. This skill calculates how much work is required to
execute a project. Project managers use this data to develop
their projects and assign resources accordingly.
A project manager’s job can vary from day to day based on the
number of activities they are accountable for accomplishing.
They may be assigned numerous jobs at once or on one task
for an extended period.
3. Communication
Communication abilities are essential for project management
success. Project managers, according to Amir Parekh, must be
able to successfully convey their ideas and intentions to others.
They should have good listening skills and the ability to
understand what others are saying to them. This enables them
to make decisions that benefit the team and the project most.
4. Managing Time and Resources
A project manager supervises a team’s resources
and time. They are in charge of ensuring that the
project is completed on schedule and within budget.
The process of organizing and prioritizing tasks,
projects, and events is known as time
management. Setting goals and targets, measuring
progress, and reaching those milestones are all part
of the process.
5. Dealing with Difficult People
The project manager is in charge of ensuring that the project
runs smoothly. They have to deal with a lot of individuals in
this position. Some people are easygoing, while others can
be difficult at times, according to Amir Parekh. A project
manager who can effectively deal with difficult people is
already excellent at his job. They must be able to put their
emotions aside and operate professionally under pressure.
6. Decision Making
Making decisions is a vital aspect of project management. Yes,
including the right people and getting their feedback is
crucial. However, you should always make the best option for
the project and the company, even when it’s difficult. No
project manager can take perfect agreement for granted. You
will be better off if you learn to deal with disagreements
between your viewpoint and the perspectives of others.
7. Handling Conflict
Conflict resolution is more important than winning or
losing. This entails knowing what creates conflict, how to
detect and manage it, and how to resolve it. According to
Amir Parekh, if you don’t know how to handle
disagreements, you can end up causing more problems
than you solve.
8. Managing Risk
Every project has its own set of dangers, and it is the project manager’s
responsibility to address these risks appropriately. Risk management is the
method of recognizing potential hazards throughout the project life cycle
and then taking steps to reduce those risks before they become issues.
A smart project manager understands that he must plan for all outcomes,
including the negative ones. Great project managers are distinguished from
average ones by their ability to plan for risks.
9. Multitasking
A project manager must be capable of managing many
tasks at once. The ability to accomplish numerous tasks
at once is called multitasking.
This talent is especially essential in today’s society, as
we are bombarded with emails, messages, phone calls,
and other forms of communication.
10. Setting Goals
Goals are the core of any project. You have no notion of what
you want to achieve unless you have it. You can’t gauge your
success if you don’t know where you’re heading. How would
you determine whether you’ve accomplished anything if you
don’t establish goals?
Ensure that your objectives are attainable. Set realistic
ambitions to avoid failure. Set short-term goals first, then
work toward long-term objectives. Short-term goals are easier
to achieve than long-term ones. This will keep you motivated
and thrilled about reaching your goals.
11. Leadership
Leadership is the ability to inspire people to achieve common
goals. A project manager must be able to lead a team of
individuals working toward a common goal.
This includes motivating people to collaborate toward a single
vision, providing direction and advice, allocating
responsibilities, defining expectations, treating them with
respect, and leading by example. A strong leader must also
know when to show his appreciation for his team by
celebrating with them.
12. Financing Projects
There are no projects that do not have funding. As a
result, project managers must understand what costs are
associated with the project and how the costs will be
spent. They must also be able to predict future expenses
and revenue.
A project manager must be able to interact effectively with
stakeholders. This includes being aware of their worries
and expectations.
