As a manager, do you direct the project or direct the people?

Humans are the ones that have ideas, need something built, and build it. You can only in fact direct people! Buildings, books or bunch of papers do not need to be directed.

The better word of course is to Lead people. Leading people is much more demanding, but brings better results and is much more satisfying.

people produce the product or complete the project so proper planning and utilization of people(resources), Right decision on right time and leading so all these decision made by people

thanks,

both will take you to the same result, how?

if you follow the project plan running any deviation will lead to manage peoples which cause this,

also if youfollow & manage people you will be in touch with project plan running

Definately, both of them...Thanks

I agree with answers the experts .

thanks invite. .......... direct the people 

I am direct to Project. My thinking is, if you have power for taking right decision for project, people will automatically follow you. 

Direct the people, because if you understand them you can achieve the goals of the organization 

I do not direct people. I am more ensuring that there is a synergy between the partners to bring to project Forward and reaching the deadlines.

both ofcourse, the people and the project

Thanks

Actually ,direct people lead to direct project , so i prefer to direct people in a right way to success the direction of the project.
