Project Management Resources for Aspiring and Existing Project Managers
Jo Ann Sweeney, a communications consultant based in London, wrote an article about one of the essential communication skills for project managers, namely Active Listening.
Active Listening
I was one of the project managers in March that was interviewed by Jo Ann Sweeney. She did research about the top five communication skills project managers need to lead their teams. An extract from her research was published on Five Essential Rules for Project Leaders on the PMI Career Central website.
“Active listening is the most important leadership skill for any project,” said South African Linky Van Der Merwe PMP. “We need to listen so we can understand requirements and needs, especially with regard to stakeholders.This should happen throughout the project, not just at the beginning.”
