The Four E's
What Every Project Manager Must Exhibit
Enthusiasm: A successful project manager must really want to do the job. He or she must get intense enjoyment from leading a project. If a project manager is not enthusiastic about the project, it's really hard for other team members to get on board.
Endurance: Project Management requires high levels of staying power. In the beginning everything is unclear-the project goal, the project schedule, the project team, the roles and responsibilities. A successful project manager must endure all stages of project management, from project definition through project execution to project closure. Getting through this phase will enable you to reach the next.
Earnest: Project Managers must be sincere and serious in intention. Sincerity will enable project managers to establish a strong coalition among team members, while keeping focused on getting the work done. A team's ability to work together will get them through the tough spots.
Efficient: Project managers who work productively with minimum wasted effort and with limited resources will always succeed. The best project managers will keep an eye on the target and establish a direct route to get there.
