Active listening and empowering peers are my superpowers, which I developed throughout the 8 years that I worked as Project Manager in various fields. In order to capture stakeholders’ wishes and lead the team to a problem solving mindset, the skills of the employees are the essential ingredient.
My approach to project management is to mediate between the client's objectives and translate them to the project team, so they can focus on delivering to their best performance. As a project manager my objective is also to shape the initial requirements to feasibly address the client's objectives. Once the acceptance criteria are clear for everyone, then my focus shifts to the team empowerment, which for me is the main resource towards projects success. My personal believe is that people can do anything, when the environment fosters that. Sometimes as leader you step into the observer role and read between the lines.
