Project managers from various disciplines at an organization shared their tips for leading projects successfully: - Avoid using your inbox as a to-do list and focus on important tasks instead of recent ones. - Set goals but also revisit them to ensure you're on track as the project progresses. - Guide your team without micromanaging and trust them to do their assigned work. - Protect your team's time, support them when issues arise, and give credit to the team for successes.
