Hello everyone.

As Dr. Simon mentioned in the lecture, the 5 areas of emotional intelligence represent a good project manager. However if I had to add other skills to these 5 areas, I would add strong communication skills and responsible. All leaders nowadays must have strong communication skills because sometimes what matters is not the content of the message, but the way it is delivered. If you don’t deliver your message correctly a team member might feel hurt or might decrease his performance in the project. Additionally, a project manager must be responsible because there are a lot of dates in the process and you need to be on top of that. Delivering things on time makes everyone’s life easier and that includes all the team members.

Let me know what you think!

Sincerely,
Roberto Pineda.
