Understanding people is important for the effective team management of today's challenging projects. The breed of managers that succeeds within these often unstructured work environments faces many challenges. Internally, they must be able to deal effectively with a variety of interfaces and support personnel over whom they often have little or no control.
Externally, managers have to cope with constant and rapid change regarding technology, markets, regularions, and socioeconomic factors. Moreover, traditional methods of authority-based direction, performance measures, and control are virtually impractical in such contemporary environments.
Sixteen specific professional needs of project team personnel will be list here. Research studies show that the fulfillment of these professional needs can drive project personnel to higher performance; conversely, the inability to fulfill these needs may become a barrier to teamwork and high project performance. The rationale for this important correlation is found in the complex interaction of organizational and behavioral elements. Effective team management involves three primary issues: People skills, organizational structure, and management style. All three issues are influenced by the specific task to be performed and the surroundung environment. That is, the degree of satisfaction of any of the needs is a function of having the right mix of people with appropriate skills and traits, organizing the people and resources according to the tasks to be performed, and adopting the right leadership style.
