How to be a competent project deputy manager? What should you do when you know the manager is doing something wrong? This post was last edited by laiqi on 2009-3-30 20:55]
Your project definitely has job responsibilities; first, look at those responsibilities, and then see what the manager assigns to you – that’s what you need to do. If the manager is wrong, stick to your principles and remind them; it’s their problem if they don’t take your advice
The deputy manager occupies a middle position, given the role between those who do the work and the managers: they still have to carry out the tasks, and even more so than before, while also taking on many of the manager’s responsibilities.
In fact, if you really want to do well, you have to \"deceive those above and fool those below\"; take your time to understand it.
It can be said that this project is quite large, and one project manager alone cannot handle it all, which is why this role was created. The role of the project deputy manager is to assist the manager, so you just need to follow his instructions and arrangements. The usual division of labor is that the manager handles external matters, that is, coordination with external parties and higher-ups, while the deputy focuses on internal tasks, such as coordination within the project. If the project manager is wrong, it is your responsibility to point it out promptly, of course being careful about the approach (it’s best to do this when the two of you are alone). Under no circumstances should you make him feel embarrassed or give the impression that you are taking over the situation.
The role of the project deputy manager is to assist the project manager by sharing the workload. All of the project manager’s responsibilities fall within your scope of work; you need to understand thoroughly the matters that concern the project manager, and provide them with information and recommendations in a timely manner. If you believe that certain actions taken by the project manager are not appropriate, please communicate in private; this is a principle that must be followed. The deputy project manager is doing well; the position of project manager is not far off^_^
Do one’s job well; give timely and appropriate reminders when the project manager makes mistakes, and report any serious errors to higher-level management promptly.
Regarding the responsibilities and tasks of project managers, there are established regulations; you should check them out.
It depends on what the problem is: whether it’s managerial or technical. You can only express your opinion; perhaps you think the manager is wrong, when in fact the manager is right
Work in collaboration with the project manager and see how the company positions you; if it’s just about coordinating production without any financial implications, it will be easier to handle
The roles of the manager and deputy manager in our project team are clearly defined, but for some key issues, everyone sits together to make decisions, including the team members
The main responsibilities of the project deputy manager include overseeing production and construction, monitoring the progress of construction, and coordinating the relationships between various departments and specialties. A successful project deputy manager is one who ensures good production and construction, improves progress and quality, and meets the owner’s requirements regarding schedule, timing, and quality. As for any opinions on certain practices of the project manager, if you have solid reasons, you can bring them up, and we can discuss them together to make a decision. In short, this position isn’t as easy to hold, and one doesn’t have as much authority as a project manager.
Work in cooperation with the project manager; at the very least, avoid internal conflicts due to differing opinions. Then carry out work according to one’s job responsibilities.
It serves as a link between the above and the below, rather than just transmitting orders from above to below. One must really savor it oneself
In a project, managers and deputy managers usually have clear divisions of responsibilities; first and foremost, they need to do their own assigned tasks well. If the project manager has indeed done something wrong, it’s of course necessary to point that out; it’s part of what a deputy should do. Moreover, even if it is brought up, the project manager shouldn’t be upset about it, as your intention is to improve the work, not to target them personally.
If you’re going to do it, be a manager – why be an assistant manager?
The deputy manager is easy to work with, but what exactly should a real project manager do? I’m new to this field and there’s still a lot I don’t understand; I hope everyone can help me in the future

The best way is to have a drink with the project manager and talk to him while under the influence of alcohol.
