    Project Management

    Mersino argues that emotional intelligence is vital to project managers because of three reasons. The first reason is that projects are different; they have special characteristics that cannot be found in the same combination in two projects. This leads to a variety of people to work with and a variety of personalities that need to be managed to get the job done. The second reason is that projects are limited, they begin and end, they are different from the task s a regular manager has to deal with. This leads to limited time in which the PM can understand his team and interact with them to…

    Project Management

    Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables),[1] undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives,[2] typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations),[3] which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.…
