In reference to project management, there is obviously a great need for continuous communication with customers, the team and external support crews.

At the project-management blog this how they say it:

I’ve heard many managers say, “I’ve got to manage my project and I don’t have enough time to manage the people on my project.” I was surprised because it is only these people who can achieve the goals of the project, and if you do not manage them well how do you intend to manage the project?

There is no such thing in experience and estimation as being so busy managing a project that there is no time to manage and empower employees. It’s an oxymoron. If they don’t blend together there isn’t a project.

No matter what types of strategies and techniques you use, the bottom line is that it is still about people. You get the job and specs from people, you put together a team of people and you have experts that offer tools and support to the team who are people.

To view a project as some type of extant thing disconnected from people is the reason why the managers who say they are too busy with a project to manage people, are really too busy with a project to manage people.
