As a project manager, the most important thing is to lead the whole project team to fight together, do a good job of team building, in order to stimulate the morale of the entire team members, improve team performance.
However, in USA, many project managers do not have the basic qualities or knowledge skills of project managers. there is a clear contrast here, abroad, the project manager is highly respected, only experienced and respected experts can become project manager.
In USA, the project manager is often a giddy green, before he understands what society is, he becomes a project manager. therefore, the project manager in china, just means the bottom of the small cadres, and a small group leader is similar. the reason for this situation is simple:
I often see project managers complaining about what kind of work is like messing around, employee disobedience, work tasks can not be completed, they have no real power, demand is always changing do not know how to do, and so on a series of complaints, i always look funny.
Because i've been through it, i've experienced it. also deeply appreciate their pain, feel funny is that those complaining about the project manager as if in a headless fly state, only know the annoying buzz, let oneself feel upset and let others feel upset, but how can not find a way out.
Each project is unique, so there must be a variety of risks and problems in doing so, and as a project manager you must have the quality to deal with them. the project manager is a weather vane, and all the project members watch it sail.
When something goes wrong with the project, the weather vane dances with the wind because of its own emotional problems, and the project members will see it clearly. the worst consequence is to make the members look down on you, reduce the project manager's prestige in the team, the heavy is the project failure, the members leave the project team.
Therefore, as a project manager, is a kind of practice, the following are need to be practiced slowly:
Temper must be well controlled.
Whether a team member doesn't finish the work on time or the customer always changes, you don't have any reason to lose your temper, especially in front of the team member;
In case of panic.
The project risk is always there, all kinds of problems are always there, big things as long as calm, will come up with solutions. if not calm enough, it is likely to make the wrong decision, a wrong decision is often serious consequences, may bring about rework, project failure and other consequences. remember, be sure to stick to doing things right once;
Never let your superiors help you think of solutions.
This is a mistake that many people are prone to make, often throwing problems at the leader, and then blaming the leader for not supporting your work and not solving the problem you are experiencing.
Remember, leaders only make decisions, not help you think about solutions, otherwise what do you do? for example, when the project resources are insufficient, need to apply for resources, do not directly tell the leadership of the lack of resources on the end, must tell him to face the shortage of resources, what kind of consequences, and then there are several solutions, each program is what are the advantages and disadvantages, and then ask the leader to choose a program;
Remember that it's no use complaining.
Think back carefully, when did complaining be useful?
if complaining is useful, what else do you want? everyone casually complain, the ideal in mind can be realized, complain about low wages, the boss will be good to raise wages, do you think it is possible? remember, complaining is useless, too many complaints will only prove that you are a useless project manager. when you have a problem, you want to break your head to solve it.
For example, do team members have backgrounds, play big names with experts, don't listen to you, and complain? it is better to think about the root cause of the problem, and then self-study a hand in communication skills, this problem must be out of your own body, there is no doubt about it;
Trust your team members and encourage them more.
Criticism is the most taboo in team building, unless there are very serious problems, to carefully consider whether to criticize. among the various methods of criticism, public name-and-name criticism is the most serious. remember, everyone has self-esteem.
Trust your team members and believe they are good. if they're not good, it's your responsibility, you're not able to boost their morale, you're not helping them improve their performance. trust them and encourage them to do the right job;
Pay attention to fairness and justice.
This is a quality that a project manager must possess and a work ethic. project team members must be treated fairly and impartially and appropriately rewarded for their performance.
Objective and truthful reporting.
It's also a work ethic. for the status of the project, must be objectively and truthfully disclosed to stakeholders, the more the risk of concealment is higher. people are always afraid to hide the bad side of the project because they are criticized for making mistakes, and it is estimated that many people have done so.
In fact, do the project, the problem is not terrible, terrible is not to expose the problem, do not let everyone together to help you analyze and solve, to the project failure is your career failure time. i know, it is a little difficult to report objectively and truthfully, but remember, this is necessary;
The credit is not their own.
Remember, as a team, you inspire people to complete the project, and ultimately you get credit not for you, but for everyone. not only that, in the course of the project, any idea of a solution, you can not take credit for their own, even if this is really what you think, you can not say is their own, that is everyone's wisdom. even if you shouldn't say the solution from your mouth at all, you should guide team members to let them speak out and praise their wisdom;
Don't think you're messing.
Understand the value of your work, which is a prerequisite for doing a good job. as a project manager, there will be a lot of trivia, write all kinds of reports, answer all kinds of phone calls, see all kinds of people, deal with all kinds of things of all sizes, it doesn't matter, as long as you do so many things are for the same goal, then your job is valuable, although scattered, but also absolutely test your ability.
Doing only one thing a day doesn't teach you time management, and doing 10 things a day makes you have to learn time management. it is only by discovering your own shortcomings in your work that you can progress. think of yourself as a mess, the mentality is no longer right, how can you think of to improve it?
Are the project manager needs to practice, of course, far more than these 9. so, when the project manager himself is a practice, the positive result of the practice is not your project success, but your personal career development success
