I definitely agree with everyone’s opinion previously stated. Yes, I strongly believe a project manager’s level of motivation affects the team’s productivity and motivation level when it comes to carrying out a project. The job title of a project manager can sometimes be misleading because sometimes people will think that they really are just managers. However, to be a successful project manager, you have to be more than just a manager. You have to be a leader. As a project manager, you shouldn’t have the mindset that people work for you and your project. Project team members don’t work for you, they work with you. Project team members should easily pickup the energy from their leader, in this case, the project manager. If the project manager is highly motivated, then motivation should quickly follow and trickle down the whole project team.
