LEADERSHIP¶
The project objective has to be clearly defined. Only when it is clear where the journey is going can the project be brought to a successful conclusion.
Are the objectives clearly defined or is further clarification necessary?
Go to objective definition checklist if necessary.
The project manager must be able to support the team and the suppliers [27].**
Has the necessary trust been built up and the necessary competences secured?
Go to project organisation and/ or team building checklist if necessary.
The team members need clarity about the procedure and the next steps.
Is the project environment clearly structured and are planning activities consistent?
Go to phase model and/ or process and time schedule checklist if necessary.
People don't want to feel confused.
Are the procedures and decisions comprehensible? Are decisions delegated if they do not necessarily have to be made by the project manager, or is it clear why they have to be made by the project manager?
Go to workshop procedure checklist if necessary.
Decisions have to be made.
Are you aware of the consequences of the decision? Have the decisions been scrutinised and can you stand behind them?
Go to risk analysis checklist if necessary.
We work as a team, with people who come from different fields and want to prove their expertise. Everyone must have the opportunity to be a prima donna!
Is there enough room for manoeuvre so that every employee can develop to the best of their ability? Do the people in charge give constructive feedback?
Go to team building checklist if necessary.
Leading a team means asking questions. Not by asking closed questions, but open questions!
"Why?" is a management question. Was this taken into account in the last discussions?
Go to meetings and workshops checklist if necessary.
Can you do that?
A leader has to set an example, be more resilient and shoulder greater levels of stress as the team members!
