Solution: Lead your team in a different way. Think of your project team differently from how you think of your department. Reduce your role to that of monitor. Watch the budget and the schedule, and ensure that your team comes through; be available to solve problems that your team wants you to solve. For some projects, you may need to work on the same level as your team because of deadline pressures, lack of people on your team, or unexpected problems and delays. But step in only if your team needs you, not because you assume that’s always the best way to proceed. • Problem:. | Leadership The Project Manager Developing the Skills that Fuel High Performance by Art Petty Leadership the Project Manager 2009 Art Petty 1 Management Excellence at http Table of Contents Acknowledgements. 3 Introduction. 4 Why You Must Develop Leadership Skills to Succeed as a Project Your First Lesson Leading is Hard Work.
