- Connecting with them at personal level
- I have tried to connect with each team member at a personal level outside the scope of work, so we build empathy, good working relationship.
- Decision
- Leverage data (Qualitative, Quantitative) to rationalize decisions
- Make decisions quickly, but be open to changing it with new data
- Clarity in project goals and Communication
- Be clear on the target customers, their pain point and goal of the project
- Communicate the requirement, decisions etc. clearly to all the stakeholder and partners
- Ensure the teams have understood goals, scope clearly
- Involving the team early in the project and getting buy-in
- As PM, I would focus on the What and why part of any initiative. I’ll engage my team early on to give them full business context
- We’ll work together to come up with a solution or ‘How’ part of the initiative. Team should feel appreciated for their expertise which in turn makes them to be vested in this
- Accepting mistakes openly, learning and fixing it
- PMs operate under a lot of ambiguity. As such, they are bound to make mistakes with few decisions. I would accept my mistakes openly with the team and acknowledge the impact of it on the team. I’ll be open to accepting suggestions on how to get better at avoiding such mistakes in the future.
- Showing honesty and vulnerability builds better team dynamics
- Encourage participation and open communication
- I’ll encourage team members to air their opinion and ideas etc. without hesitation
- As a team, I would encourage all of us to ‘disagree, but commit’ to the decisions we made as a team.
- Defending/Supporting team’s decisions
- It’s important that the team feels protected when taking risks and decisions are challenged by leadership. As a PM, I’ll stand by my team and defend our decision.
- I’ll own any mistakes with the decision, rather than blame the team
- Working together as ‘We’ to solve challenges and give them the due credit
- I’ll ensure the team get its due credit for delivering value to customers, instead of hogging the limelight
- Accepting mistakes or flaws, but working together to solve them to reduce the risk to deliverables
- Team members are bound to make mistakes that might result in delays or customer complaints. Instead of pointing fingers at them, I’ll be empathetic of the situation and work with the team to resolve the concern quickly and come up with a solution to avoid those mistakes in the future.
