What are the most important skills of a Project Manager and why?
回答
一个称职的项目经理需要具备许多技能和特征才能成功，其中最重要的是计划和执行。作为一个项目经理，你最终要负责按时按预算交付项目。成功实现这些目标的唯一方法是计划缜密，并严格执行。如果你在这两个方面失败了，客户或你的雇主就会失望，后果可能会很严重。
除了有效的计划和计划的彻底执行，你还需要有效的书面和口头沟通，以及杰出的激励技能；对项目充满热情，具有灵活的工作方法，同时是一个优秀的谈判者，并且在逆境和挑战面前坚定不移，对自己和团队的能力充满信心。
我相信我拥有所有这些技能和品质，能够按时按预算交付出色的结果。
A competent project manager will need to have numerous skills and attributes to be successful. However, the most important ones are planning and execution. As a project manager you are ultimately responsible for delivering the project on time and to budget. The only way you can successfully achieve these goals is to plan thoroughly and execute the delivery of your plan. If you fail in these two areas, the client, or your employer, is let down and the consequences can be far reaching.
In addition to planning effectively and the thorough execution of the plan, you also need to communicate effectively (both in writing and verbally), have outstanding motivational skills, be enthusiastic about the project, have a flexible approach to working, be a great negotiator, be unwavering in the face of adversity and challenges and be confident in your own and your team's abilities.
I believe I have all these skills and qualities and can be relied upon to deliver fantastic results, on budget and on time.
