There are many important skills which can help with teamwork. As mentioned by other responses under this topic, communication and listening are important skills. In my opinion, independent thinking is also an important skill for the team member. The teamwork and group thing are the reflection of individual thinking. Every individual in the project team should show their own thinking during the discussion within the group. Even though there might be some conflict  between different ideals, individual thinking could be the source of new ideas  as well as good solutions for some difficult problems. Especially when project grouping is faced with some difficult problems, it’s better to spend some time on individual thinking before the group discussion since our thoughts might be affected by other people’s thoughts.

One key part of project management I have not seen being mentioned is the ability to assign people the roles in which they excel in. Of course this knowledges comes by working with your team members and communicating what they feel comfortable handling and what skills they want to learn. This however also means not everyone will be happy by your decision and such choices requires a certain level of forethought and critical thinking on the part of the project manager. This included with the ability to inspire and learn from your team members are a necessary skill for both a project manager and fellow team member.

I believe that to finish a given or assigned project to complete in a specific period effectively it is necessary for every employee in the team to work together. I think every member of the team is assigned separate tasks to finish. It is necessary for team members to communicate efficiently to get updated on the given task. Communication is the key skill the team members should have to talk clearly and really with other members of the team to know the project deadlines, overall goals, and responsibilities, and it helps in creating a positive environment in the workplace within the organization. communication even helps in resolving the issues that occurred with the upfront project manager or other team members. Another skill is time management, the project manager should have time management skills to track the progress of each team member and the project goal. Team members need to think out of the box to solve the raised issues and even to have solutions in hand before negative outcomes occur. Problem-solving skills will help the team members to explore the barriers or incompetence that are preventing the success of the team and even help in enhancing project processes in the future. It is important for team members to keep an open mind and must listen to what other team members are saying and even has to think from their perspective to get various sides of the issues that they never thought of before. This skill makes you a more collaborative and a better leader to predict requirements and risks prior to they appear and to react efficiently when they do

It can take a decent amount of skills and time to become a good project manager, and there is no such thing as a perfect project manager. Once someone rises to the position of project manager there will be trials and tribulation in actively taking on the role and there will be stumbles in the first project they lead, but a certain set of skills may be able to help them pick themselves up and prosper. They should be able to be a confident leader. A good project manager should be someone who is confident in their skills and is someone that the team can trust and openly discuss issues with without feeling any anxiety of letting them know whether updates are good or bad. And with this skill they should be humble enough to not fake what they do not know but be willing to learn from others who have more work experience in a field they do not. Another skill a good project manager should have is good time management. They should be able to keep track of what needs to be done from each member and ensure the follow up of the task is done accordingly. If they are able to keep track of tasks and their timing, it can give an extra fall back for the team members that there is also someone else keeping track of the time and understanding their time frame. And finally I believe another key skill for the project manager would be good communication skills, to be able to convey ideas and tasks accurately so that each person understands what needs to be done as well as the importance of their tasks to the overall project. There are more skills a good project manager can have but I believe these are the key three building blocks.

As a PM or as someone who is looking to become a PM in the future, I think it is important to have or start developing certain traits to be a successful PM. I think leadership, communication, and adaptability are very important personal skills needed for that role. Since the PM plays an integral role in leading their team, it is important that they can motivate the team, build trust amongst the team members and foster productive collaboration. That ability can fall under those first three characteristics. Additionally, I think there are a lot of organizational skills need to be successful in this role. The PM needs to be able to plan and schedule project objectives/deadlines as well as delegate all of these to their team members. They also need to be able to understand the budget of the project and how to manage that money properly over the life of the project. Especially in the med device realm, I think it is also extremely necessary to have sound technical knowledge around this topic. Not only understanding the science behind what the team is developing, but also the industry as a whole and how the project fits into a niche. They also need to be able to use that technical knowledge to problem solve on the fly as issues arise and to mitigate project risks.

You need to find someone that is accountable and responsible, so that way the deadlines are met, and everything is on track. Someone who can work under pressure and get positive outcomes. Someone who can listen and be a leader at the same time. If a team member doesn't like the way is being led, then they have to work harder so they can become THE leader of the organization/ project. They can show love, dedication, and compassion in everything they do, so it can reflect in others those attributes and therefore, would be making their team members follow them.
