I have seen first hand how the project managers motivation affects the team productivity and motivation. Whenever the project manager leaves for vacation the entire office becomes very relaxed on their workload. But when the project manager is in his office everyone is focused and working extremely hard. A major project deadline was April 10th and a week before the deadline the PM met with his team. He was stern, direct and yet motivational so that the team members would be able to meet the requirements by the deadline of April 10th. The project manager always comes to work 10 minutes early and leaves 10 minutes late. His work is always completed on time with great amount of justification for his work. Since the project manager is always on task and is a role model of a great worker the rest of the team follows his footprints.
