From my perspective, success is dependent on the manner in which those people are treated, motivated, developed and engaged. In essence, the culture and values of the organisation are the most important aspects to getting real and meaningful engagement, involvement and commitment; the discretionary dividend. The leader of any organisation needs to embody and live the values of the company he or she leads. It’s not enough to mouth meaningless platitudes and pepper the walls of a company with posters with this and that motivational quotation. It has to be real and genuine.

"Treat others the way you want to be treated"

If not in the exact total sense of this saying, I believe the basic concept would help.

A team manager/leader also should be a good team player as well. Good communication, listening skills, healthy criticisms and motivation along with his managerial supervision and guidance will definitely help gain the trust and confidence of fellow team-mates.

Any managerial post is not a child’s cake to handle. Therefore it must be performed with utmost responsibility and one who intends to undertake this responsible should possess those skills. I have tried pointing out few skills but the list is not all, rather the list is too long:

 

1.     MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS

2.    COMMUNICATION SKILLS

3.    COLLABORATION SKILLS

4.    CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

5.    FINANCE SKILLS

6.    PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS

7.    ANALYTICAL SKILLS

8.    BUSINESS ANALYSIS, WRITING AND QUALITY MEASUREMENT

9.    CUSTOMER SERVICE

10.FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING

11.  HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

12.INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT

13.INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

14.SUPERVISORY SKILLS

15.MARKETING

16.OFFICE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

17.PRESENTATION SKILLS

18.TIME MANAGEMENT

 

Therefore there varied reasons for the failure of a manager.

Absence of skills and experience will lead into leading failure, absence of authority and management pyramid respect will lead into controlling failure.                    Thank You.

Have you ever seen a situation where projects begin to show signs of disorganisation, appear out of control, and have a sense of doom and failure? Have you witnessed settings where everyone works in a silo and no one seems to know what the other team member is doing? What about team members who live by the creed "I'll do my part (as I see fit) and after that, it's their problem." Even worse is when team members resort to finger-pointing. Situations similar to these scenarios point to a sign that reads "danger." And if you read the fine print under the word "danger" it reads, "your project needs to be brought under control or else it could fail."

When projects begin to show signs of stress and failure, everyone looks to the project manager for answers. It may seem unfair that the burden of doom falls upon a single individual. But this is the reason why you chose to manage projects for a living! You've been trained to recognise and deal with these types of situations.

There are many reasons why projects (both simple and complex) fail; the number of reasons can be infinite. However, if we apply the80/20 rule the most common reasons for failure can be found in the following list:

Poorly managed Undefined objectives and goals Lack of management commitment Lack of a solid project plan Lack of user input Lack of organisational support Centralised proactive management initiatives to combat project risk Enterprise management of budget resources Provides universal templates and documentation Poorly defined roles and responsibilities Inadequate or vague requirements Stakeholder conflict Team weaknesses Unrealistic timeframes and tasks Competing priorities Poor communication Insufficient resources (funding and personnel) Business politics Overruns of schedule and cost Estimates for cost and schedule are erroneous Lack of prioritisation and project portfolio management Scope creep No change control process Meeting end user expectations Ignoring project warning signs Inadequate testing processes Bad decisions

Even with the best of intentions or solid plans, project can go awry if they are not managed properly. All too often, mishaps can occur (and usually do). This is when the project manager must recognise a warning sign and take action. If you understand the difference between symptoms and problems and can spot warning signs of project failure, your training will help you take steps to right the ship before it keels over. Yes, it's the project manager's responsibility to correct the listing no one else. In addition to applying the processes and principles taught in project management class, you can also use your personal work skills of communication, management, leadership, conflict resolution, and diplomacy to take corrective action.

During the course of managing a project, the project manager must monitor activities (and distractions) from many sources and directions. Complacency can easily set in. When this happens, the process of "monitoring" breaks down. This is why the project manager must remain in control of a project and be aware of any activity which presents a risk of project failure. Yes, this is why "you are paid the big bucks."
