Project managers are required to be a sort of jack-of-all-trades. Meaning, as you said, project managers must have strong qualities of communication, interpersonal skills, organization, crisis management, along with others. Managers are tasked with managing a project by managing the people working on it. This is a difficult job and one that it crucial to the overall success of the project. Personally, as far as skills I currently have corresponding to me being an effective project manager, I think my biggest skill I would need to work on is my organization. In order for me to manage an entire team of people I would need to put in some effort to focus on my organization skills.

The project manager for medical device company leads the team of engineer ,owns the relationship with clients and applying engineering knowledge to ensure successful outcomes . Assembling a medication reconciliation team is an important task for project manager for medical device company . The Design Team should be comprised of multidisciplinary members with a strong knowledge of current workflow, recognition of the problem, and buy-in for improvement like nurses, physicians The project manager should have the skills needed to effectively listen to the client, clinical advisors, and end users, use that information, and develop a safe, effective, and meaningful solution. He has to learn new things fast, and use that information to make good decisions along the way. Communication is also an important skill that project manager need without it even the skilled worker are unable to perform

I believe for myself personally I would need improvement in the risk management portion of project management. It seems as though it is something that may come with experience. One can obviously count for all of the expected risks, but it is the unexpected that comes with having experience. It is very hard to expect to unexpected until it has already happened. One way to improve on risk management would be to read up on other companies that have had issues with a similar product your group is trying to create. By doing this research you can become better prepared and know what to expect/what could go wrong.

I currently work in a project-based organization, which as we learned in lecture is run by project managers who govern project teams consisting of members from all vital departments (production, quality control, quality assurance, etc). One of the most imperative skills to have in this organization is interpersonal skills, the ability to effectively communicate between departments and across project teams. Projects that I have been involved in mainly include a biological product processed in a cleanroom, which requires management to keep tabs on every member of a project team in terms of who is scheduled to perform which task and when along with ensuring that the cleanroom has been routinely cleaned prior to any processing/manufacturing. This ultimately requires the managers to schedule members from multiple departments to run certain tasks together (i.e. manufacturing and QC working hand-in-hand to ensure a product is not contaminated during processing), which in turn requires communication among all those involved.

Crisis management is also a vital aspect of a manager's role in that it sees to prevent or mitigate any disruptive factors that threaten a company along with its stakeholders. A few methods of crisis management is to protect prioritized assets, have a spokesperson to effectively convey any given situation, and to keep employees informed and updated. How does crisis management compare with risk management in terms of when they occur, who authorizes them, and the overall objectives? Conflict management is defined in the PMBOK Guidebook as an inevitable hindrance in a project such as facing scarce resources, scheduling priorities, and personal work styles. How does a PM address conflict management?

The most valuable quality to have as a PM is to know your team members. The performance of a team is most dependent on how engaged each member feels in working on the project. A PM must be able to cater to each member's personality to ensure everyone feels that the time and energy they put into work is valued. The different personality types observed on the team will require different forms of positive reinforcement from the PM to encourage good work ethic. As a PM, this requires a strong understanding in the importance he places on his own behavior. PM need to understand how what they say and do affects the actions of their team, and this is something I would personally need to work on. I put aside time everyday to reflect on my interpersonal interactions, but I struggle on making the improvements on where I find deficiencies. I understand where I can improve, but fail to take action to make that improvement. Specifically, I find that within groups, I fail to engage in the atmosphere and fail to come across as genuine.

Project manager is the main pioneer of project work. Project manager leads the working process of Project. The project employees and manager work togetherto get the project done. There are many problems in the project work, one of problem the manager is not agreeing with the employees a big debate goes on due which the project gets delay. In order to good relationship with project manager, the manager and employees should have a proper conversation and should not put pressure on the employees.

Ideally, you would want to have any positive quality (e.g. work ethic, positive attitude, intelligence) as a project manager. Even though there are certain skills and qualities that may be less important than others or are just simply not relevant to project management, having a skill or positive quality can never hurt you at all. For my case, I think that I'm very analytical so I pay careful attention to small details and try to be as thorough as possible. For project management, Dr. Simon emphasized that interpersonal skills and communication skills are essential for this type of job. Knowing and empathizing with other people is essential because people are working under you on the project. Therefore, knowing your workers is always a plus and having the ability to read people can become very handy. Knowing as much as you can about your workers is always preferred because you can judge whether or not an individual is the perfect fit for a particular job or whether or not a co-worker should be involved in your project at all. In order to improve, I want to read more books on social skills as much as I can and learn how to apply them in my life through practice. Just being more social is not the best way to learn efficiently. I think that I have the ability to learn technical skills but I am lacking in the social skills.

A good manager achieves a hard working, productive and effective workforce that punches above its weight in its performance. Good managers attract exceptional staff; they make the organization a preferred employer; they help to increase market share. There are guide about how to be a successful and effective manager: - Leadership, Experience, Communication, Organization, Planning, Pick up the strength and weakness, Find the right job fit for each person, and take the right decisions at the right time.

One of the most important characteristics of a successful manager at work is that he has a sense of the leader’s spirit in any organization he works in. The leader’s spirit does not mean control and control, but rather planning, follow-up, sacrifice, and control of everything that is going on inside the small or large organization.

Also, Consultation on everything related to the affairs of the institution makes the employees more in love with it, the manager must have a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship and take the opinions of everyone and consult everyone, he can reach the appropriate decision, and access matters could be overlooked.

And, possesses a strategic distant view, the manager who works like any normal employee does not fit and does not put planning for the institution, the director must grow with his company and his work, there must be a comprehensive view of the details of everything that is going on in the company

Project managers need to have qualities such as communication, organization, interpersonal skills and responsibility to be successful. As a college student, I believe that I have many characteristics that would benefit my career as a project manager. Unfortunately, I lack in the ability to be completely organized and manage my time to oversee all the different tasks of the many ongoing projects. However, I can improve on these skills by organizing different tasks and managing my time more wisely. On the other hand, I am successful in communicating with others and understanding varies issues. This is beneficial for when conflicts arise because I can oversee and assist the team members with their problems/concerns. 

The manager should have a greater vision and ways of communicating it to others. He should be able to manage decisions on his own and take up the responsibility of being good or bad. Another greatest quality of a manager is leadership, where he must a possess an ability to influence and guide others towards a common goal, taking command and motivating the members of the team. Having intellectual resources may also contribute to the qualities of the manager.

It is well known that managers main task or duty is to lead a team of employees, and try to get the best out of each member in the team in order to perform a specific outcome or milestone. As we have seen and learned throughout the course, mangers require to have certain qualities in order to accomplish those aforementioned milestones and outcomes. For example, managers should be able to communicate with all team members with different backgrounds and education levels i.e. managers should have a socially active character. Also, there are some more qualities that define an admirable manager such as creative planning, flexibility, accountability and being organized. Moreover, most of the time, managers need to take decisions whether these decisions are hard or not. Some decisions are difficult to take while some are not; however, each decision may influence the team either in a good way or a bad way. That’s why being able to make a decision under pressure is another quality of an admirable manager. In my opinion, out of all mentioned qualities, decision making is the hardest quality managers must have as it requires experience, critical thinking and knowledge in the field, and to be honest I think that decision making is the main difference between a team manager and a team leader. As a result, I think I need to be more focused in my studies to develop knowledge and critical thinking in order to have this hard quality of a manager.

I think the most important qualities which you should have as a project manager could be: strong leadership skills meaning having good leadership qualities like being able to motivate his or her team, being a  good and fast decision-maker because there will always be decisions that need to act correctly and fast, the project manager should have technical expertise because knowledge of theory as well as the technical side can greatly help the project manager in taking strategic initiative when needed.

I personally believe that I am acceptably organized. But I am very novice when it comes to social interactions. Throughout my studies and career, I have always been on the technical end and did not have many opportunities to interact with members from other teams or organizations. As I believe that I am a good listener I think this could be a good starting point for me. I plan to self-reflect on myself more in the coming months and years and expose myself to more social situations.
