A construction project manager's competency profile: the role of emotional-cognitive abilities.

Lawani, Ama

Abstract

The importance of stakeholder management has been emphasised in project management literature as it directly impacts project performance. Construction project management consists of a collective term referred to as project participants: client/owner, project manager, architect, engineer and contractor. Leadership and Management skills are vital to the performance of the construction industry. Since project managers are responsible for successfully coordinating activities within the project lifecycle, they will benefit from emotional intelligence as a management tool. However, there is a need for greater awareness of emotional intelligence within the construction industry.
