Project Management Is Both An Art And A Science

Advancement with Project Management approach to capture desired results efficiently & effectively every time in business demands a good “FIT” of managerial & leadership skills.

Professionals working on projects/program/portfolio/PMO do not have a choice to only acquire PM skills and leave leadership skills for some later point in time, – No … No … No … That would only lead to failure.

Implementation of projects lead to change management where application of assortment of technical tools require managerial competence and managing human aspects in the process is only possible with effective leadership skills.

Project Management is an art because ,,, project management requires the skills, tact, and finesse to manage people.

Project Management is a science because … it demands an in-depth knowledge of an assortment of technical tools. It drives change to move in strategic direction and demands leadership skills to manage human factor most effectively.

Misunderstanding of leadership skills for different levels and often confusing it with technical skills for moving managers to important commanding-roles that leads to disastrous outcomes and end results. The damage is not limited to poor outcomes of initiative/project but penetrates discretely & subtly for long term impacting organizational image, reputation for managing HR and keeping & maintaining high performers.

All project professionals/managers are not automatically great leaders because they took a few courses in PM, critical path schedules, resource planning or objective setting. There isn’t a certification for leadership, nor is there a guaranteed development path one can follow to become effective leader.
