On to the topic for this article…a highly affective project manager should be above reproach. First, what does this mean? A quick search online provides this meaning…“So good as to preclude any possibility of criticism.” Another tells us it means, “not deserving of blame or criticism.” I think both of those maybe give the impression that if the project manager is to be above reproach, then they must be perfect. While no one is perfect, I think most probably get the idea.
