3 experts have described difficult decisions they had to take in one project.
Now think about what was important for them in taking the decision the took. Would they act differently in a different context? Why?

As a project manager effective communication is crucial in making the project a success with your team members also.
Understanding the task at hand and executing them appropriately being honest and transparent.
As a PM, having thorough understanding of the situation at hand and good communication as a vital role, adding with transparency is a key role to handling resources and human in your team.
Communication is the key and vital role which acted like the centre pillar for every project manager. Honesty and transparency must not be excluded as you carry your project team alongside the stakeholders during the project exercise. ~Julius
In dealing with difficult decisions ,PM must have a thorough understanding of the situation on ground and also communication is key and is power of managing projects, managing human being and resources.
The three project managers had difficult challenges as regards to communication barrier, termination of project, technical issues, unavailability of resources and communicating this with the stakeholders and team members would go a long way to resolve the issue on ground. This shows professionalism and transparency. Every project comes with its own challenges and communication plays an important role.
What was important to them as a project manager was communication. The first PM had to communicate effectively with the workers to ease the anger. The second PM had to discuss with the clients to see how the difficulty on the ground could be solved and concluded.
Yes, they would have acted differently in a different context if they were probably sales representative or human resource manager
The three expert project managers were all serious in the project, despite everyone’s challenge in the project such in regard to resources available, technical issues and communication barriers. They kept moving on until they had fruitful discussions with different stakeholders involved in the project. That shows how professional project managers might prioritise the organisation goals rather than considering personal feelings in the decision making process. The PM have to adapt themselves to the difficulties they encounter, and seek a win-win solution every time.

The most important thing for me here is effective communication. If they had communicated to their clients, they would have done things differently
In terminating a project early than the anticipated time, the PM needed to have brought all stakeholders onboard to align and get their feedback.
PM should act in a way they contribute to the success of their project to show commitment to the job and leadership
