PM Personality

imageWhat characteristics do good project managers share? As you would expect project managers are a pretty diverse bunch, but certain personal traits may help.

First and foremost they like managing projects. Managing projects is not something people are neutral about. They either like it or they don't. Why would anyone want to do a job in which you can all too obviously fail spectacularly and if you succeed people will shrug their shoulders and say you just did your job? Others relish the challenge and like the feeling of accomplishment, of getting something done that may not have happened without them.
