Picture a role where your contributions aren't valued, your hard work is disregarded, and your position could easily be filled by someone else at any moment. This isn't exactly a place you’d want to stay for a very long time, and as a leader, this isn’t the environment you want to develop or sustain. As a project manager, when you show your team respect, appreciation, and inclusion, it boosts their morale and inspires them to excel. Acknowledging their efforts, offering chances for advancement, and nurturing a supportive atmosphere cultivates a culture of teamwork and trust, benefiting both team members and the project's success. ?? How often do you talk to your team?? ?? Reshare if you found this valuable. --- Here's my approach to appreaciate my team: https://lnkd.in/e773Tzay #projectmanagement

Absolutely Gabor Stramb! You hit the nail on the head. In project management, a team is only as strong as its weakest link, and disengaged, undervalued team members become those weak links. Human beings are, without a doubt, the most valuable asset in any organization, and project teams are no exception. ? As project managers, it's our responsibility to cultivate healthy environment. By acknowledging accomplishments, providing opportunities for growth, and fostering a sense of inclusion, we create a team where individuals feel valued, engaged, and ultimately, empowered to deliver exceptional results.

One of the aspects I truly appreciate about my role as a program manager is the dynamic coordination that takes place among the various project teams within the organization. Each week, I look forward to checking my emails to review the tasks and priorities that have been set for our teams. This ongoing communication and collaboration are vital, as I firmly believe that successful work is the result of effective teamwork. By fostering a collaborative environment, we not only enhance productivity but also encourage creativity and innovation. It’s rewarding to see how different perspectives and skills come together to tackle challenges and achieve our goals. Overall, the synergy created through teamwork is what drives our projects forward and leads to successful outcomes.

Maintaining effective communication with international clients is pivotal. Drawing from your own successful strategies, emphasizing regular meetings and clear communication channels can be particularly beneficial. For example, using tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, as you've done, ensures transparent and efficient communication, helping to bridge any cultural or time zone differences.

?? Behind Every Successful Project: The Power of Coordination ?? As a Project Coordinator, I’ve learned that success doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of careful planning, clear communication, and a dedicated team working towards a shared goal. ?? Over the years, I’ve seen how crucial it is to stay organized, manage timelines effectively, and keep everyone aligned — whether it's handling logistics, tracking progress, or solving unexpected challenges. Every project teaches me something new about teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. One thing I’ve come to appreciate is how collaboration truly makes or breaks a project. It’s not just about getting the tasks done, but about fostering a positive and efficient environment for all team members to thrive. ??? As we approach the end of the year, I’m proud of the projects we’ve delivered and the lessons learned along the way. Looking forward to more growth, challenges, and rewarding experiences in 2025! ??

and as we always say at work: "if you don't know how to do it or if you're unsure of something, just ask. There are no stupid questions here." It's better to ask for clarity first than to fix a mistake.

Afterthought on Task Clarity and Accountability: A Reflection from Recent One-on-Ones After chatting with my team about some of the hiccups and bottlenecks they've encountered with task assignments, I realized a few things. As a manager, one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that task clarity and communication are absolutely critical. What frustrates me most is when someone takes on a task without fully understanding what’s involved, and only later admits they didn’t get it when the deadline is looming. Here’s what I would genuinely appreciate: If you're unsure about the task, let me know upfront. Say something like, “I’ll do some research first and get back to you if I run into roadblocks,” or “Let me give it a try, and if I don’t find the solution, I’ll loop back to you.” That shows initiative and a sense of responsibility—and it’s far more productive than waiting until the last minute to say, "I didn’t understand the task." Accountability isn’t just about completing tasks—it’s about owning what you do know, as well as what you don’t know. If there’s any uncertainty, ask early. We’re a team, and we’re all here to support each other, but we need to be proactive in communicating and addressing issues as soon as they arise. Let’s continue fostering a culture of transparency, collaboration, and results. Together, we can tackle challenges head-on and get things done efficiently. ??

A Project Is Only as Strong as the Team Behind It ???? As a Project Coordinator, my job is to keep the wheels turning, but the true magic happens because of the incredible team I get to work with every day. From the developers and designers to the strategists and marketers—every individual brings unique skills, perspectives, and dedication that drive the project forward. It’s not just about managing timelines or checking boxes; it’s about fostering a culture of collaboration, trust, and respect. ?? I’ve seen firsthand how when people are empowered to bring their best ideas to the table and work together, the results can exceed even our highest expectations. ??? So today, I’m celebrating the people behind every project—the unsung heroes who make it all happen. Your hard work and commitment are what turn challenges into accomplishments, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Here’s to the power of teamwork! ???? #ProjectManagement #Teamwork #Collaboration #Leadership #EmployeeAppreciation #Success #ProjectCoordination

As a Program Manager, I've often reflected on how the role is perceived. Some may mistakenly equate it to being a personal assistant to stakeholders, ensuring schedules, reminders, and follow-ups are in order. But is that all there is to it? Absolutely not! A Program Manager is the architect of alignment. We drive strategic initiatives, ensure cross-functional coordination, and mitigate risks before they become roadblocks. While the role involves managing stakeholders and keeping them on track, it goes far beyond handling tasks. We: ?? Create clarity in ambiguity. ?? Translate vision into actionable plans. ?? Facilitate collaboration across diverse teams. ?? Track outcomes, not just actions. Yes, we may sometimes juggle calendars and coordinate logistics, but our core purpose is delivering value by connecting dots across the organization. What do you think? Have you encountered similar misconceptions about the role? Share your thoughts below! ??

One challenge I've faced recently in leadership is trying to work on a project with several people. No one was engaged in getting tasks done, overseeing the work, or testing things out when it was ready. I went through several ideas including scheduling out meetings on everyones calendars to make sure we had planned set aside time to get this project done. However, nothing was getting the team together, some people just ignored the scheduled time, or double booked themselves. Meanwhile, this project was costing us thousands of dollars a month. Ultimately, I had to sit everyone down and have a hard conversation that the team as a whole was failing due to lack of engagement, including myself in this as when a team fails, the whole team fails, it's not just one person. This helped for the following week but then it went back to the way it was before. So, another difficult conversation had to be had. Ultimately, the project got off the ground. Sometimes, it takes a difficult conversation to get things going, but if you don't have it, you don't get anywhere. What are ways you navigate circumstances like this?
