Reflection: Project Management

As a Manager:

I can use these tips a lot in the future projects because I learned a great deal from reading those ten helpful tips. First of all, as a manager I will do my best to assign people to whatever they are good at instead of just assigning them random parts. Also it is really important that I am aware of the part of the assignment they are passionate about. For example if I give them a part that they are not interested in, t they will most likely not put enough effort to complete it. Moreover I will encourage them to be more independent and ask them “What do you think?”. Therefore they will be forced to think themselves. If I solve their problems every time then they will never learn and they will always hesitate to think or put in some effort into the work.  As a manager if the group members ever do something wrong, I will not blame them for it because then they will not be willing to work with me ever again. I will do my best to correct their mistakes or tell them nicely what to improve on their next project. 

 

As a Member:

As a member I will listen to my manager all the time and do as they say. My manager will do his/her best to give me the best part that I’m good at and even if I do not like the job I will put in effort to finish it. If I have questions regarding my project I will try to think of the answer myself instead of asking the manager for answers. Because when I was reading the tips the person said to managers that they should never give the answers to the members, so the members can start thinking. Also if I ever do something wrong and the manager gets mad, I should not argue with him and fix my mistake so he can be happy with having me in his group.  At the end of the day, as a member I will make some progress done so when my manager asks me what did I do today, I will not be stuck or say I did not do anything today. If I try something new I will always an answer to why I did it this way.
