What do project managers really

Presentation (Handout) from the year 2007 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, grade: -, - (University for Economics and Management), course: Project Management Days '07, Vienna, September 2007, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The working day of project managers has changed. Today's working environments place higher demands on project managers. More is expected in less time, with fewer people and to higher quality standards. Project Managers need to push their teams and themselves harder to achieve the expected results. They need to adopt new or improved working with people competences and associated behaviours to be successful in their endeavours. I will discuss what project managers typically do, what they need to do in future and how they can achieve the desired results.
