Are project managers magicians?

I have been meaning to say this for some time ? now .
Please join me in giving a shout-out ?? to all the project managers out there, whoever and wherever you are!
Being a project manager, no matter in which trade or industry she or he works, is probably one of the toughest jobs out there.
As a project manager you must balance and satisfy the interests of numerous different stakeholders, which at times seems impossible.
Over the years,?and with the experience gained, a project manager ends up possessing so many talents and skills in so many diverse areas, in addition to the "basic" knowledge of the trade and industry where he or she works, that they are impossible to list in this short article.
Anyway, I will try to list a few of them, and I am sure that you can come up with many more. Please feel free to add them to the comments.
If you add to the equation, the complexity of sometimes operating in some of the remotest areas of this world ??, where all supplies are scarce and dear, the job as a project manager gets even tougher.

A project manager, together with her or his team, can truly create magic ??. So, please remember tomorrow when you meet your project manager, who should of course also posses the qualities of being a good and decent person, to say an extra thank you and well done.
Then, I have not even mentioned the importance of team members and all the other good colleagues and disciplines required to complete any project successfully. That is in itself material enough for another post or article, at some other point in time.
Take care and stay safe out there!
