Types of project manager power relevant to my project

Leading and managing the human resource project, which is a method of documenting and identifying project roles, required skills, relationship, responsibility, and creation of management staffing plan. There is different project manager power that is important to this project. Whereby power is the influencing ability, which is an important player that is used in the decision making the process for achieving the goals. Project managers in some of the situation they feel powerless due to the lack of manager functional powers. Project management is a well-established approach in work assignment execution in an environment that is project-oriented. It has formed considerable interests this not only due to the implication for the organization design but also is due to the implication for the manage projects. (Tinnirello, P. C. 2018). 

Although there is much in project management, little awareness has been focusing on the project manager's problems they face through gaining support and also cooperation by the project personnel. The project-oriented environment is a distinguished portion for the position of a project manager, which is composed of facilitating, coordinating tasks, and integrating that useful in the successful completion of that project. For a manager is necessary to have a move across different functional areas and also disciplines in gaining resources and services from some project personnel on top of formal authority or who have little. These personnel sometimes respond to requests readily but in other times, become reluctant to in provision in support of the desired level. The ability to acquire assistance from project personnel is seen as an important factor in determining project manager effectiveness. One of the project manager power that are used in leading and managing human resource projects is the reward power.

Reward power is a kind of power used by managers in rewarding their employees to influence them to act. This is a process of doing something for the purpose of getting another one in return. Reward power is useful provided that reward is recognized because of having value. For example, when you give a gift or gold star, it may look nice if it is a rare commodity, but the effect is overused, it may be weakened. Most of the employees may start to have frustration experience when the reward does not become significant. Also, in other times, an award can be seen as for granted by the individual offering the reward as a form of compensation for the duty. When employees experience that reward is not adequate for the compensation for the task requested. Reward power is also applied in morale incensement. They are thinking of trophy given to the first performer or the team consisting of the lowest amount of mistakes. If this used well, this kind of reward is highly sought after status signs around the organization. The advantage of this reward power is that it encourages loyalty to lead and managing the human resource project management and also the organization. For example, workers will receive praise regularly by performing their work in the right way; hence, they will increase the loyalty sense when compared to the employee who does not receive recognition. When the reward is available, it also brings a healthy competition between the employees in achieving an award. The other project manager's power is the penalty power, which can apply in the project. This is the method where the project manager involves punishment to the team members, due to he or she is performing is duty poorly on the project. The penalty should be applied carefully and to be used as the last option. When penalty power, it only uses conversation one to one but not to be used in front of others. When this method is used, the manager gains power, and the employees ought to respect the project manager, and then employees work hard.

Outcomes resulting from managing projects

Project teams must be geared within delivering outcomes. Procedures are used in helping to get there in a repeatable way. Processes add structure, which is good in a new starter, and assuring things are automatically done. But it is not good to design a team around how procedures work, and it is created on what project is required to be. In leading and managing the human resource project, we have the results, which are the outputs from any of the procedures. Processes are used on how to get there. During the formation project management process, someone usually focuses on the results. If the method fails to get there, hence that is not a suitable procedure. One of the outcomes is the identification of project management evolving in an organization, and this is done through the application of the information system that makes room for enterprise teams in working in partnership, plan definition, and managing market projects. Another outcome includes coming up with new drivers from project management. (Hamilton, V. 2018).  It is suitable for the availability of a person to take care of accountability and be responsible for all the project deliverables. This is important because in team management, when the alignment of the team is driven to a project plan, it keeps high standards with delivering, project execution determination, and also the communication method. Project clarity seeking through the stakeholders. Stakeholders are persons who care about or have an interest in the project. This is solved when the stakeholders achieve their targets and objective and also to exceed their expectations. Lastly is the application and using of a business template to gain clarity within the project alignment up to organizational goals and also the business effect.

Challenges of project managers may face when leading virtual or global project management.

The obligation of a project manager is boiled down to dealing with difficult projects and also acquiring positive results. For balancing complex project elements, a project manager must work hard on the daily basis. Project managers should have the skills surrounding decision making, communication, risk-taking, and delegation. The project there some of the challenges that they encounter throughout their work. One of the challenges is the poorly defined goals whereby a project manager has to come to generally accept the internal and regard corporate issues. These issues, most of the times are connected to owning poorly expounded goals by a firm or a firm. The problems of project manager arise before going to a business. Lack of clarity of objectives and the goals to the project, then the project is, unfortunately, likely to fail. The solution is that the project manager is supposed to have a kickoff meeting together with own team members or use software for planning and also apps for team collaboration for defining the goals of the project and each team member's obligation. (Ferraro, J. et al Lofbomm, A. Gildan Media. 2018). 

The other challenge is poor team skills, whereby even the project manager may be good in their work, but the team that is headed by the manager lacks skills; hence, the project may not be satisfying. This makes the pro9ject to be at risk. But the solution is that before the starting of the project, the project manager must analyze out all the skills that the team members should possess for the provision of excellent work. It is essential for analyzing the weaknesses and strengths of all team members to understand the type of additional training they require.

Inadequate communication being another challenge where a project manager has the duty to show direction for every project step, so the team members each one of them to know what is expected from their team. Due to the poor communication in all sides, managers, together with the team, serve as the biggest challenge in project management. But the solution to this challenge is that if the project manager lacks during the communication field, something may make better their communication. A project manager may incorporate building activities of the team to foster teamwork and also excellent communication.

The overall plan for communication management during the project.

Regardless the number of workers who are present in those teams, business have to be precise and clear internal communication structure that makes room for all managers to issue a direction to the front line employees and also allows them to give feedback to the managers so that he or she can adjust their plans. The purpose of communication management is to make sure things are done through others so people working in an organization must be updated on doing work assigned to the best possible manner. The method that is best in that communication management during the project is the interactive communication method, which is the simultaneous information exchange through a transmission medium, which includes video, conferencing, telephone conversation, and also through internet relay through some chat sessions. The information becomes crucial to all organizations in timing, which is the choice control or the control of something on how should be done. The arrangements provide standard tools to the project manager to distribute and store information to all stakeholders regarding the costs of the project, the progress to be scheduled, and also the performance
