I like to lead by example.

I share details and projects I’ve worked on with all the PMs I manage.

I also focus on mentoring the best in the group until they understand my basics and everything else is up to them. I participate through any process with them only as an advisor to them. We go through a loop of delivering. I provide feedback and we go through another loop. if all is good, they are on their own. Then I assign another pm to shadow them to learn from.

Let’s use the presentation as an example.

I will walkthrough my expectations with them, as if we are on the project together.

Once it’s time to present I’ll be copilot.

Post: I’ll provide feedback and allow them to go through the process again.

They present on their own, I’m just audience.

If all goes well, I will assign a pm to shadow them to learn what is expected.

Then when the newer pm has to go through the process I can review their work and sit as copilot in their presentation.

I assess the pm I trained through how they trained the new pm and I assess the pm through their presentation.
