Communication Challenges for Project Managers
Unit 3 The first article that details the pitfalls of communication for project managers is Foong's "Effective communication: a challenge to project managers." This article focuses on the various points of difficult project managers might encounter while attempting to communicate with people during the tenure of a project. Those pitfalls most eminently include a range of stakeholders, various factors of diversity for project team members, and the lack or inefficacy of a communication plan explicitly for a particular project. The diversity that project managers are sure to encounter include geographical, educational, and experiential factors that can greatly vary amongst those working on a project. Moreover, project managers need to not only create a communication plan that is inclusive of both stakeholders and team members, but they must also specifically tailor it to meet the various needs of these people (Foong, 2014).
Sweeney's "Top five communication skills for project managers" also details some of the pitfalls of communication for those in the field of project management. However, this article focuses on solutions to those difficulties, and only acknowledges the latter implicitly. This article contextualizes communication in the larger frame of establishing relationships based on trust and understanding. To that end, the author advocates the practice of active listening and establishing priorities...
The author's point is that these methods will enable individuals in project management positions to foster the sort of understanding in professional relationships that makes communication less arduous, and more efficient.
