    One of the Project Managers Roles is Team Development, McGregor’s Theory or Xy Theory of Management defines the type of project manager power as per the following:


    Five Stages of Team Development :

    Any team working in a project will pass five main stages from the day the meet each other to the date they leave the job as per the following :

    Forming: Where the team  meets and learns about the project,  their roles and responsibility.

    Storming: The team begins addressing technical  work and  decisions, it needs collaborative behavior

    Norming : The team begins to trust each other as they begin to  work together  and adjust work habits

    Performing: The team is interdependent and work through  issues smoothly and effectively

    Adjourning: The team completes the work and moves on from the project


    Powers of the Project Manager:

    Project managers almost always have difficulty getting  people to cooperate and perform, especially if they are  working in a matrix organization.Therefore, it is important for the project managers to  understand what they can do to get people to perform.

    Formal (legitimate): Power based on your position., “Do the work because I have been put in charge!“

    Reward ‐ Giving rewards. : “I understand that you have been wanting to participate in  the acceptance testing of this project because of your  performance, I will assign you as part of that team! “

    Punishment (coercive):Being able to punish team  g p members. ,“If this does not get done on time, I will remove you from  the group going to Hawaii for the customer meeting!ʺ

    Expert : Being the technical or project management  expert., “We should listen to what the project manager suggests.  She is the world authority on this technology!“

    Referent ‐ Based on the project managerʹs personality  or knowledge or referring to the authority of someone  in a higher position. “The vice‐president has put me in charge of this project.  We will therefore do it this way!“
