Scope of Improvement in Development Project Managers

The project managers of development projects which belonging to category 2 ( Self Honest & considering all others as dishonest)  are more prone to be swayed away on hearsay about dishonesty issues of all others as they are always looking for the stories of dishonesty about others to elevate their opinion about themselves. This attitude is the most powerful tool to derail or retard the performance of the development programmes.

Self Proclaimed Honesty & Integrity the biggest enemy of development

The project managers of large development projects are IAS officers in India. These project managers can be grouped in main 4 categories. 1. Self honest & consider all others honest 2. Self honest & consider all others dishonest 3. Self dishonest & consider all others honest 4. Self dishonest & consider all others also dishonest. Out of the 4 the second one is found most inefficient & worst project directors because they detract & discourage even those who have capability to contribute in the development. The first category project directors are more successful  if they have capable stakeholders. Fourth category is the second worst. As a development workers one must be very careful of the secod category.
