My experience as a leader is similar to the understanding of the leadership quality. In order to manage the work of the project, there are number of leadership qualities like excellent communication, integrity, cool, competence, problem solver, team builder and more that a project manager needs for finishing the project successfully. In addition to this, it is very much important to have proper capability of managing the project. Proper project management helps in completing the project within the expected time and budget successfully.

The abilities that an IT professional needs are as follows:

Specialized skill: Proper abilities and knowledge are required in various types of programming languages so that an effective system is implemented.

Administrative abilities: They must be capable of elaborating the assets that are needed for building the entire project.
