No matter what your background or organizational makeup is, there are certain qualities that you must embrace and principles you should follow to do the job well. Sure, you’re going to have to show some interest in creating project plans, estimating projects, keeping the project budget intact, and facilitating great communications, but in order to really do a great job as a project manager, you have to keep your work organized and your teams informed and happy. This can be especially difficult when your budgets are tight, resources are overbooked, and client expectations seem to shift weekly. That’s the life of a project manager.

• Eagle eye for project issues

• Clear, calm communicator

• Empathetic

• Adaptable and flexible

• Curious

• Invested in the work
