Project Management or People Management?
Which role you are performing more as a PM?
Is it Project Management or People Management?
If your answer is Project Management then probably you may face more challenges, fire-fighting, and etc in your project.
But if your answer is People Management, most probably you are on track to complete your project with less or manageable issues. The project team may loves you, respect you and stakeholders admire your ability.
Are you surprised? Its true that “PM” can be interpreted as People Management apart from Project Management.
A PM has to deal, communicate, connect with lots of people during the entire project tenure and get them involved for the project activities. The Project Success lies in the hands of these people, how they execute/carry out their respective project activities.
Only a good People Management skill will help to establish good rapport with all people and ensure they are up to the mark and going beyond their means to deliver the project tasks. A good People Manager always stands for his/her team, will win their hearts and makes them to follow him/her. Undoubtedly, the People Management is the key factor in the Project Management and please start paying more attention to the People Management.
But don’t forget about the Project Management also. A good blend of Project Management with People Management is the secret of a successful project.
