A project manager should not only be a manager, but also a leader able to influence the whole project culture. One of the most important qualities of any leader is tolerance. However, even tolerance must have its limits. Project managers can't tolerate anything that causes problems, insecurity and dishonor. They must also set an example to others in this way. The PM Hut website described the following ten things you should not tolerate as a project manager - both in yourself and in your subordinates.
1. Insufficient communication
All project participants should share information and listen to one another.
2. Team exhaustion
Projects often require maximum effort from all team members, but not at the cost of burnout.
3. Underestimating risks
You have to count on the fact that no project will go as smoothly as expected.
4. Ignoring underperformance
Just one slacker can demotivate the entire team.
5. Somebody unable to perform his tasks
If a member of your team can't fulfill his tasks and improve even if you provide help, it's time to say goodbye.
6. Useless meetings
Meetings should be short, have a clear agenda and lead to clear successive steps.
7. Inconsistent team
There may (and should) be different views in the team, but you should be aligned to achieve a common goal.
8. Insufficient quality
All project results should achieve the required level of quality.
9. Lack of respect from subordinates
If a subordinate shows a lack of respect to you as the project manager, deal with it immediately in private.
10. Poor decisions
For each major decision, you should consider finding out how it will affect all the people involved.
