I think that if the best project managers in the world had their technical project management skills erased from their memories, and were dropped into random projects, within a few weeks they’d be thriving.

They share an innate drive to get things done, to work well with others, to consider different perspectives, to communicate effectively and to see the big picture.

The processes, techniques and controls will improve the odds of success for sure; but they’re easily learnable. Just watch my channel or read a text book.

The greatest asset a top project manager has is their desire to get things done, and whilst I know we can explain that, and we can create conditions that drive that behaviour, I’m not sure it can ever be taught. In every profession, some people are just naturals.
