Project Management EfficiencyListening is grossly underestimated not just in project management but in all areas of life

The trick to maintaining high standards while managing projects regardless if you have 1 project or 20 projects is simply just LISTEN. Keeping project on time and within budget is obviously the main objective of the project manager but there are different ways they can achieve this. It doesn’t have to be the hard line approach of being over demanding and pushing people but instead just listen.
Empathy is what distinguishes the top project managers from the rest. The ability to have that personal connection with the team and be able to understand root causes. This will lead to the team respecting you as a project manager and a person which will improve team morale and move them towards the goal of being a high performing team.
