TRAITS OF A 'HALO EFFECT' PROJECT MANAGER (003)

Continuing with the ‘Halo Effect PM’ series @ PM4K, here’s 5 more ways to identify Project Managers that know squat (nothing) about Project Management:

11. he/she spends most of his/her time babysitting team members by constantly checking on them.

12. he/she blindly orders a 10% cut off any estimates provided.

13. he/she feels that the only human resource responsibility a Project Manager has is to give orders.

14. the only reward he/she can think off is for himself/herself.

15. according to him/her, Quality Management is only needed for manufacturing industries.

Keep your eyes open. You'll spot one (Halo Effect Project Manager), when you see one ;)
