I will shortly take over a project office with permanent & contract workers. All staff is under pressure each running at least 4 – 6 IT projects in various stages of completion. The previous manager had been asked to leave as his work ethics had been questioned & the senior staff in the department accused him of various wrong doings. All staff are demotivated and seeking strong guidance. Some of the staff had been brought into the project office from administrative type positions and therefore had little formal project and / or technical training and background. How do i hit the ground running and make a good impression from day 1 to get staff & management on my side.
