Halo Effect - Project Management

I have seen a lot of times in my career and have also learned from the experiences shared by others that a Senior member of the team who is Technically very sound is being made the project Manager for an up coming project . Reasons given mostly are :
1. The person has fdeep knowledge of the project 

2. The person is very good technically.

3. The person is working in the same time for a long period now and needs to be elevated .

4. The client is very happy with his work .

Image Ha

This is the biggest mistakes Organizations make . Rather than judging the project managemen capabilities of the person XYZ , they elevate a person to a Project Manager basis other factors which leads to a FAILURE .

 
This is called as HALO EFFECT .

Hope next time you need to take such decision you will remember me and the HALO effect :-)

    It is growing everyday and that is the way how everything should be working because most of the times its about following the basics if we stick to good ones we can get to have business agility which is the most basic need of a business.
