As Chuck continues to heal from surgery, we offer this replay of one of the most popular lives streams from 2023!
Our industry often incorrectly labels lead technicians as project managers without providing proper training or understanding of the role's responsibilities. We explore seven critical habits that separate successful telecommunications project managers from the rest.
• Monitoring labor and material budgets is the most crucial project management responsibility
• Project managers must create comprehensive schedules so everyone knows expectations and timelines
• Being prepared with detailed checklists standardizes procedures and creates measurable progress
• Planning for risk through SWOT analysis and contingency planning prevents project derailment
• Active listening techniques build trust with clients and team members
• Balancing control with team autonomy creates efficiency while maintaining standards
• Delegation develops team members' skills while allowing managers to focus on critical tasks
• Servant leadership breaks down the "us versus them" mentality between managers and crews
• Continuous learning prevents stagnation in an industry that "changes at the speed of light"
The best way to be successful in telecommunications project management is to remember that knowledge is power.
