A start-up is a project in its own right and it better be managed using project management skills, tools, expertise, & techniques.

A start-up must define his/her goals (resembling project charters), he/she must plan the starting up, build his/her team, and manage the execution of the approved plan.

Startps have to develop thier business's plan as well.

Certain personality traits can contribute to the success of a project manager and other traits can hamper the effective management of a team and a project. So cultivating certain personality traits and moderating others can lead to greater success in project management.

Here are a few traits for Project manager,

 

Communicating

 

Team-building

 

Being creative

 

Scrapping the Blame Culture

 

Valuing a Challenge

 

Taking Calculated Risks

 

A project manager can be successful with a range of different management styles and that success can also be attributed to the right project management skills and experience but innate or cultivated personal traits can also be a major factor in that success.

 

If a project manager can combine being authoritative, decisive and risk inclined with the softer skills of effective communication, team-building and creativity then they might just make the perfect project manager.
