introspective snapshots: The Human Side of Project Management

    Great post Shey! Good timing too as I'm searching for a project management tool :) From my experience, it's always good to talk about ideas and to keep discussing ideas until we sort out what's good and what's not. I think it's also extremely important to be up front about any mistakes a project manager makes themselves -- and to take into consideration that as a project manager, your team isn't working for you but actually the other way around.

    very good points here - it's given me a lot to think about. One of my biggest issues with project management is team cooperation, but I'm going to try a few new techniques.

    I've never been in the posture of leading a team until a few weeks ago when I was proposed to take over my team because our previous leader moved to another firm. I still have a few days to decide but reading this article made me realize I might fail my team. I'm not as determined or as powerful as required. I always liked being there to give ideas not to gather them. I can't be firm about deadlines unless they are my own. I really don't see myself being harsh with an employee if he/she isn't done on time. I'm having a dilemma. Should I give it a try or simply refuse?
