At Calisher & Associates, Inc., the selection of project managers is a carefully thought out process. Those who are selected to provide leadership in a project must possess a number of important qualities to ensure they provide an effective service, not only to the company but its clients as well.
Lead By Example
An effective leader is not somebody who simply delegates tasks. They must demonstrate commitment to the project and show that they are willing and able to contribute to the team dynamic. Ideally, a good leader should have previous experience in the same industry for which they are now coordinating projects.
Honesty
A good leader is completely honest about their intentions, goals and methods. This goes for their interactions with both the project team and the client. If either begins to suspect the leader of the project has ulterior motives, team morale is often directly affected.
Confidence
There is a big difference between confidence and arrogance. A good leader should be confident in their knowledge, the team and their ability to provide the service that they promise. They should approach projects with a positive attitude, in addition to carrying themselves in a manner that commands respect.
Communication
Calisher & Associates, Inc. understands that effective communication can make or break large scale projects. An effective manager must understand the importance of this and be capable of communicating on a variety of levels. They should know how to concisely relay information to relevant parties, understanding how to communicate with team members, clients and senior management.
