To be chosen as a project leader presents an opportunity for you. You can either boost or sabotage your own career depending on the outcome of your project. Indeed, spearheading a project is not to be taken lightly, as you will be responsible for your team’s deliverables. Here are pointers which can help you lead a project.
Call a meeting of your group. Email, make memos, and call everyone who’s involved in your group. By no means should anyone be absent because your first meeting is vital. Have everyone on your team participate in a brainstorming activity. Encourage and pursue ideas which seem promising. Write key ideas on a whiteboard so that your team can write down their own notes based on your written priorities.
Assess the necessary tasks and assign it immediately. This will be more efficient if you know each person’s strength and weakness so you can assign according to talent and skill. Even if you have a lot of time before your deadline, it’s wise to assign tasks early. This is to make sure that everyone knows exactly where they should focus and how they are expected to contribute in the project.
Always follow up. You know how nagging works. In a very not annoying way, follow up on how everyone’s assignments are making progress. This is to make sure that no one is getting left behind and procrastinating. Remember that even the smallest task is vital to your whole project outcome.
Maintain an interactive communication. You need your team to give you insights on what else you can do to make the project successful. Assist team members who are having difficulty in their tasks without doing their work for them. You need everyone to be in their most productive mode, so give them enough motivation.
