Know your role:
Project managers must understand truly what their role in the group is. Even though you may be the leader of the group, your primary concern must be the group itself.
Understanding the value of your employees:
Project manager must realize that you are not a one man team, but that all of the employees must work as a group to create a successful project. Try to provide all the requirements that your employees need. Remove the obstacles they might be facing. So all in all work hard to help your employees complete their jobs.
Keep fairness in mind:
Avoid playing favorites to certain people of your group or even putting your ambitions above that of the group. It is very important to keep up the morale of the group. If not, it will destroy the project management completely.
Respect your employees:
Give due respect to your employees. Treating them badly or even criticizing in public is enough to undermine respect and confidence in them. In project management mistakes will occur, but you have to be tactful in handling these mistakes.
Utilization of your employee’s potential:
Evaluate your employee’s potential and the areas in which he is strong in. Project managers utilize them in such a way that their strengths are used more, so that not only does your team benefit from this but also your employee’s confidence sky rockets.
Encourage success:
When any member of your team achieves a very tough task, make sure that you appreciate it. Let the others know of this achievement so that it will be an incentive for them to achieve such accomplishments.
Give prompt feedbacks:
Project managers must always be in touch with the progress that your employees make and respond to their work. This will blood better communication and productivity.
Make small changes:
In a group, disparities between members are expected. Don’t expect people to change overnight. Change small things here and there, and you will achieve long term solutions.
Make mistakes as a stepping stone:
When your team makes mistakes, support them and rectify it. Also take effort in pointing out where and how the mistake occurred. Make sure they learn how to recognize the mistake in the future.
Pull down your ego:
If someone is better than you in your group, it is not a reason for jealousy. Project managers must understand that it is more helpful for your team. Ego and insecurities could shred apart your entire team and project apart.
