Encouraging Teamwork as a Project Manager

Encouraging Teamwork as a Project Manager is an audio-only course. When you’re the project manager, it’s up to you to make sure that plans are laid out, deadlines are met, deliverables are up to scratch, and clients are happy. But you can’t do any of that alone. A project manager needs a team to lead, and it’s their job to ensure that team works like a well-oiled machine.The intentions of every individual team member need to reflect your intentions if the project is to run as smoothly as possible, and that can be difficult to achieve. Everyone on the team has a different personality and has diverse work experience. There will likely be several contradictory perspectives on how the job should be done.That can result in conflicts and miscommunication, which cause barriers to progress, and projects failing to hit their deadlines or fulfill the client’s expectations. Encouraging teamwork should be a priority for all project managers to keep everyone on the same wavelength, working together to achieve a common goal.
