In dealing with difficult situations in project management, the project manager needs to be proactive and be united with the team members and be ready to compromise.
What was important for them in taking the decision they took is that, they are very concerned about the end result and success of the project, the first speaker highlighted that, it was painful for her to bring the project to a close early due to the fact that they might not be able to execute the project on the long run, and what I observed there is a project manager trying to save the value of the company, and other hand the second speaker had a an issue with a venue whereby they had to searched for a possible means to tackle it, the client was invited in a meeting and a compromised was reached, in that the client had to pay for extra fees for an alternative water supply, so what I observed here is a level of understanding between the project manager and the client, and this actually helped the event to still hold, for the third speaker having issues with communication, due to the fact that he works where his language is not spoken, and this could actually be solved if a means of getting an interpreter can be achieved.
They would actually act differently in different way, why because, the issues are different, and different approach must be given, yet all of them would ensure things don’t fall apart for the sake of the organization moral and values.
Every problem for me has a different solution and I believe these project mangers took a decision based on the available solution and their problem solving skills.
I believe that every project manager should have a problem solving skill and this will help them make the needed decisions at every needed time. These project managers made decisions according to the situation at hand likewise every projects will have solution when any challenge arises. It just for us to think of the best option.
PMs haves different approaches in coordinating a project, which is beneficial,one must understand the essence of communication in life of a project and compromise /collaboration when it has to do with the needs/goals of a project.
The decisions made by the three project managers would have been different in a different context .
Every project is different and unique and would require different approaches in decision making.
The decisions made by the individuals were likely influenced by a variety of factors, including personal values, project constraints, and team dynamics. The second decision to prioritize language highlights the importance of aligning personal values with professional goals and ethics.
Considering the fact that they is no one best decision, all PM tried and had the problem solved.
Yes if the situation was different then decision might have been different too.
The decision to call of the projects by the projects managers were generally influenced by various factors ranging from external factors , finance constraints , unfeasibility of the projects among other factors.
There communication skill was perfect to driving home there points.
