leadership

if the project is in initiation of planning what is project manager should do:

 a- directing

b- coaching

c-delegating

maha

Directing and I'm sure!!

Adil

Just to complement Adil perfect response:

 

In the beginning of planning you have to direct people (give instructions), because they don't know exactly what to do yet. As the project is progressing and things are getting clear, you do more a coaching (teaching, help people improve their skills) and supporting (provide what their NEED, and watch out here, is not what they WANT).

You may adopt "delegating" anytime but with EXTREMELY caution. You shouldn't delegate what is YOUR responsibility. Most people confuse "include team in planning and managing" with "give them your responsibilities and blame them if anything goes wrong".

 

 Good luck!

How about Initiation. If the project is in initiation phase. What should be the role of Project Manager. ?
