The Skills Needed for a Project Manager

The Eight Skills Project Management Skills

I remember when I was ‘promoted’ from a humble engineer to the dizzy heights of project manager back in my twenties. The company I worked for successfully turned a reasonable engineer into a poor project manager!

Worse than that the company also wanted me to be the ‘technical architect’ (create the products) of the project.

What I needed was the project management skills to manage change.
