Project Manager for many meant “the boss” the person with all the power! Nothing can be further away from what is required from a PM today! The PM is more of a servant then a Boss. He needs to have the capacity to get the best out of his team and in order to do so needs to be available and willing to share Knowledge, Skills Development. So, all of the previously refereed characteristics (with which I agree) with a complete availability to his Team! After all the project success is directly related with the quality of your team!

PM has to have more disciplined and dedicated and ability to handle to risks by appropriately applying the situation specific strategies. Saving Changes...
