Hey everyone, it's time for another project management tip. Ray here and let's talk about three major skills every project manager needs to succeed. Now to be successful, project managers need many different diverse skills, ranging from expertise in their industry, in business, and of course, project management technical skills. Someone recently asked me what major skills project managers need. So to respond to this question, I grouped the most important into three major categories. Without developing these skills, it's unlikely a project manager will be able to succeed. And here are some of the best past tips to grow and master these three skill categories. First is communications. It's been said that up to 90% of the work of a project manager is related to communications and it's not just about talk. In fact, the most successful project managers will likely spend a large percentage of time listening, listen to ideas, requirements, feedback, and more. There will also be plenty of need for writing skills, as well as documents, plans, reports, presentations, and speeches. To learn more about the skill requirements, may want to check out some of our past blog entries, The Ultimate Guide to Effective Communication Plans, Get Your Listening Skills in GEAR, and Five Tips to Improve Executive Presentations. Second, is interpersonal skills. Just as with communications, there are many different interpersonal skills. But the three that are in constant use are delegation, negotiation, and conflict resolution. Delegation is the skill required to effectively make work assignments that team members will complete. Be sure to check out Four Steps to Diligent Delegation and Five Common Barriers to Successful Delegation. For more tips on handling these situations, negotiation is also important. As the project progresses, they inevitably get off track. Getting them back on track will need having the ability to negotiate budgets, time, resources, work assignments, and more. An example of the need for negotiation skills can be found in the article and video The Timeframe for Total Project Completion. Conflict resolution is another important interpersonal skill. You will need to learn how to harness constructive conflict to promote creativity and innovation while minimizing destructive conflict. Be sure to check out Five Tips for Effective Conflict Resolution. And the third skill group is team building and leadership. As a project manager, you will need to lead without authority. To do so you will need to demonstrate integrity. Integrity builds trust with the team and be seen as a leader. If your team cannot see their way clear to follow you, it will be difficult to lead a project to success. So be sure again to check out some past videos and blog entries Five Tips for Leaders to Motivate their Teams, Six Tips for Team and Leadership Success, Five tips for improving your PM Leadership, and Five Tips to Master Expectancy Theory to Improve Leadership. These have just been highlights. To succeed as a project manager, you will need to take a deeper dive into each of these skills and continuously improve your knowledge. So thanks for listening again this week and watching. Hope to see you again next week with another project management tip. Take care everyone.
