The abilities that a project manager must possess are as follows:

First, I call it the overall situation.

The concept of the overall situation means that there is a great difference between doing project management and doing expert and functional management. The difference is that project management is systematic thinking, because what is done in a project is often cross-departmental, and the work in a single department is not called a project, and the members of the project team are often cross-departmental. At this time, we said that as a project manager, if he wants to be absolutely fair and organize everyone to make the most favorable decisions in the project, he must stand high enough.

Because you make decisions across departments, you don't make decisions from a certain department. If you make decisions from a certain department, it is selfish and narrow-minded for us. It can't be wrong, but it doesn't apply to projects. Because the project is cross-functional, cross-functional work, cross-functional people.

The result of that project is to bring these people together, because we need someone who can think systematically from the overall situation and then organize everyone to do a cross-functional thing. At this time, a breakthrough and subversive innovation have been formed. Therefore, the person in charge of leading the team is called the project manager, and he has to have a high overall view, and he has to think about everything every time he makes a decision.

second, I call it management by objectives.

This project management is a typical persistent and very typical target management. For the project manager, he organized a group of people to do something temporarily from the beginning, the purpose is to achieve the goal in the shortest time and the fastest time, so that the project has the lowest cost and the best quality, and everyone is relatively satisfied.

but the key premise is that we need to know what the goal is, so for an excellent project manager, when the goal is unclear, we should try our best to lead everyone to clarify the goal. After the goal is clear, we should break down the big goal into small goals, then break down the small goals into smaller goals, and then we will send out the work.

this is based on the ultimate goal, stage goal, big goal and small goal in the project, and we carry out management around various goals. Its purpose is to integrate what everyone has done through the correlation between their respective goals.

thirdly, I call it empathy.

the third feature is also something that the project manager should highlight. Usually, we generally think that the project manager should be very good at communication. There was a saying in PMBOK of PMI that the project manager should spend more than 91% of his time in communication.

what is communication? It is because we organize a group of people who are not familiar with it before to do something that everyone is not familiar with, and the time is tight. What we are most afraid of is that no one will communicate with anyone, but this result just needs all people to be systematically integrated and coordinated, so we can achieve such an innovative result.
