Interpersonal Skills for Project Managers Project managers are faced with the difficult task of motivating others in challenging circumstances. All too often, the project goals conflict with the goals of the workers on the project team. Project managers are plagued with expectations regarding project timelines, budgets, and customer satisfaction. Project team members may be overworked, frustrated, and overwhelmed by the stream of relentless deadlines and the many projects competing for their time. Often, project managers have no authority over project team members and must motivate them using means other than the “scare tactics” so often used by line managers. How do you, as a project manager, motivate people to work on your project? How do you persuade your project team to support the project’s goals, budgets, and deliverables? You can learn to motivate others, even when they don’t report to you. Our program “Interpersonal Skills for Project Managers,” helps you learn the tools to capture the emotional commitment of your team members. You can also develop the necessary skills required to deliver high project quality and customer satisfaction while maintaining good relationships with the members of your project team.
