What qualities and abilities should a qualified project manager possess?

rallying point

That is, the ability to mobilize the enthusiasm of project team members, customers, suppliers, functional managers, public officials and so on. People are people in society, and everyone has their own personality. Generally speaking, the members of the project management department are assembled from various departments within the enterprise, so everyone's quality, ability and ideological realm are more or less different. Everyone goes to work in the project department for different purposes, some for money, some for learning skills and skills, and some for muddling along. Therefore, everyone's work enthusiasm will be different. If a person who wants money doesn't get the salary he expects, he will be bored. People who want to learn technology and skills will feel bored if they feel that there is nothing to learn from the project, or that the position is wrong and they can't learn technology and skills; To muddle along is to be a monk for a day-muddle along. Therefore, the project manager should have enough appeal to stimulate the enthusiasm of all members.

affect

It mainly affects the ability of project team members. In addition to other employees' important expertise and giving orders correctly and legally, the project manager also needs to give appropriate guidance to project team members' personal later work tasks, authorize others to use funds freely, improve employees' positions, increase employees' salaries and rewards, and impose or lead to punishment. And use employees' love for a specific job to generate corresponding incentive measures.

interpersonal skills

That is, the ability to effectively listen, suggest and understand the behavior of others, that is, friendly interpersonal relationships with others. Strong leadership will definitely restrict the development of enterprises. Only when the project manager has sufficient communication skills can he communicate equally with subordinates and superiors, especially subordinates. Because the voice of the masses comes from the most basic and primitive voice, especially the opposition voice of the masses, if a project manager does not analyze and understand the opinions of his subordinates, his management will inevitably be power management, which will also cause dissatisfaction among employees, and the consequences will surely repeat those in the history of our country.

The mistake of "advice at the most unpleasant time"

strain capacity

Resilience refers to the reaction of natural persons or legal persons when external things change, which may be instinctive reaction or a decision made after a lot of thinking.

Second, management skills.

Management skills first require the project manager to treat the project as a whole, and to recognize the relationship and constraints between the various parts of the project, as well as the relationship between individual projects and superior organizations. Only when the project manager has a clear understanding of the overall environment and the whole project can he make clear goals and reasonable plans. Specifically including:

plan

Planning is an activity to plan and arrange the future project implementation process in order to achieve the established goals of the project. As a function of project management, planning runs through the whole process of the project. In the whole process of the project, with the progress of the project, it is constantly refined and refined, and at the same time it is constantly modified and adjusted to form a sequence system. If the project manager wants to manage the whole project in a unified way, he must work out a feasible scheme or have a good idea of the whole project plan, so that all the work can be carried out in an orderly way as planned. In other words, the project manager must have the ability of overall consideration and unified planning of construction projects. [ 1]

organization

The organizational ability that the project manager must have here refers to the ability of one person's combination to make the whole construction project achieve the established goals, make all participants work together and set up different levels of power and responsibility systems. When a project wins the bid (sometimes when bidding), the project manager, as (or to be) the project leader, must make full use of his organizational ability to organize the project in a unified way, such as determining organizational objectives, determining project work content, designing organizational structure, assigning posts and personnel, formulating post responsibility standards, workflow and information flow, and formulating assessment standards. In the process of project implementation, the project manager must make full use of his organizational ability to organize all aspects of the project in a unified way, that is, to handle the relationships between people, people and things, and people and things that occur during the implementation process, so that the project can be carried out according to the established plan. [3]

target location

The project manager must have the ability to locate the target, which refers to the standards of various indicators that the project must complete in order to achieve the expected results. There are many objectives, but the core ones are quality objectives, time limit for a project objectives and investment objectives. Only when the project manager locates these three goals accurately and reasonably can the management of the whole project have a general direction and the work of each project can be carried out towards these three goals. In order to formulate accurate and reasonable objectives (overall objectives and sub-objectives), we must be familiar with the overall objectives of the project proposed in the contract and relevant information reflecting the characteristics of the project.

Holistic consciousness

The project is a complex whole, which may include multiple subprojects, sub-projects and unit projects. If we don't have an overall awareness of the whole project, we are bound to lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another.

Authorization ability

In other words, members of the project department should participate in decision-making, rather than the traditional leadership concept and leadership system. Any decision must be fully discussed and demonstrated by the relevant personnel before making a decision. In this way, we can not only "serve people with morality", but also gather the wisdom of many people, which is more popular, convincing, scientific and comprehensive.

Third, technical skills.

Technical skills refer to the ability to understand and skillfully engage in a specific activity, especially the skills involving methods, processes, procedures or technologies. An excellent project manager should have relevant technical experience or knowledge required by the project. Technical skills include professional knowledge and analytical ability to use management tools and skills in specific situations. Specifically including:

1, expertise in using project management tools and skills.

Project management is a new management science, which is the product of the combination of modern engineering technology, management theory and project construction practice. After decades of development and improvement, it has become increasingly mature and widely used in developed industrial countries, with obvious economic benefits. Practice has proved that the implementation of project management in the field of economic construction, especially in the construction of construction projects, is of great significance for improving project quality, shortening construction period and saving costs. Each project management has its own specific management procedures and steps. Most modern architectural projects are comprehensive projects. The project manager must master the comprehensive application of modern management science and technology such as decision-making technology, network planning technology, system engineering, value engineering, target management and kanban management, and implement dynamic control in the process of construction management, so as to successfully complete the project and finally realize the established project objectives.

2. Relevant professional knowledge

Such as industrial and civil architecture, roads and bridges, water conservancy and electric power.

Professional knowledge such as electric power and ports, as well as economic knowledge such as construction economy, technical economy and budgetary estimate, and legal knowledge such as economic law and contract law. Only by mastering certain professional knowledge in these aspects can we be comfortable when encountering related professional events in the process of project implementation and be invincible when dealing with economic problems.

3. Computer application ability

The rapid development of computer technology has played a decisive role in China's economic construction. In some high-tech fields, computers have become an indispensable condition for office work. The same is true in the field of building construction. The era of handwritten documents will soon become history, not only because computers can improve work efficiency, but also according to relevant requirements, all kinds of documents must be completed by computers. Therefore, as a project manager of construction engineering, he must master certain computer application ability, such as architectural drawing, word processing, database and so on, in order to adapt to the times.

4. Relevant project knowledge

The project manager should also know the relevant project knowledge, methods, processes and procedures of the project. With these comprehensive knowledge, he can flexibly use various management techniques in the process of project management.

5. Good health and rich practical experience.

The project manager must also have a healthy body and rich practical experience. Because the project is busy, especially the project with high risk or poor progress, the project manager will bear heavy pressure, so he should have a healthy body. At the same time, the project manager is the commander who comes to the front line personally, and he should deal with all kinds of problems in the project operation at any time, so he should have rich practical experience in the project so as to make quick decisions on all kinds of problems in the construction site.

In a word, an excellent project manager should not only be confident, enterprising, energetic and good at communication, but also have extensive management skills and professional skills in this major. Only when he develops in an all-round way can he successfully achieve the established goals of this project.
