Your observation seems to be correct. Project Management seems to be driven by engineering principles and is heavily influenced by policies and processes that come straight out of military academies where the need to succeed outweigh any other consideration. Alas, times are changing and managing projects as autocratic enterprizes are hopefully soon to be over. Cheers, Shim. Hi Samad, thanks for commenting on my post.

Love it. So true!!! Somehow the soft skill chapters got missed when Project Management forefathers wrote the PM manuals. I think the reason this topic of communication and soft skill does not get the coverage it deserves is because most of the thought leaders in the field come from a heavy engineering background that is more biased towards the application of technical skills. I am also convinced that the reason we don’t have enough thought leaders talking about soft skills and communications is that most of us in the field of the project management just don’t feel comfortable talking about the soft side of leadership. I have always been skeptic about compartmentalizing people into specific types but I look forward to the next blog about the personality types from your perspective. As always, great job on the research you have done for the post and providing the links. Cheers. Samad Aidane It’s about communication, stupid!
