PJM 6000 Discussion - Effective Communication & Global Mindsets

PJM 6000  Effective Communication & Global Mindsets Discussion

Communication, Communication, Communication

A frequently repeated statistic is that 80 - 90 percent of a project manager's job is communication. Whether or not that statistic is accurate, it is certainly true that a primary job is communication to project stakeholders including your sponsor. Please read the PMI article "The Essential Role of Communications" which is part of your reading assignment to help inform your responses. For this week's discussion thread, I want you to provide a response to the following questions:

• Identify two or three essential skills you believe a project manager needs to have to be an effective communicator
• How important is a global mindset for communicating in today's project environment? Why?
• How can a project manager continue to improve their communication skills throughout their career?

Please note: I expect a minimum of 2 -3 paragraphs for your initial post complete with external references. Your response postings are expected to be at least a full paragraph using cited material.
