Let’s discuss how to apply the principle of \"non-interference\" in project management”
Thread Content
As the title suggests: Friends with project management experience, please share your insights on how to apply the principle of \"non-interference\" in project management as the professional responsible for a project. Especially with large projects, there are too many things to manage. Therefore, it is impossible to cover everything. But everything must be under control.

1 Focus on the key issues and ignore minor ones; 2 Use different management methods depending on the individuals involved; 3 Trust subordinates fully and conduct regular checks; 3 Establish proper management systems and ensure their thorough implementation
Focus on key areas when managing content; avoid relying on people you doubt, and don’t doubt those you employ. Allocate tasks to your subordinates wisely and take overall control!
1. Establish and improve management systems, and handle various affairs in accordance with established procedures. 2. Define positions, especially key ones, with clear division of tasks and established position responsibility systems. 3. Grant your subordinates sufficient authority to handle routine matters on their own, stepping in personally only for major issues (if there are no major issues, then you can stay hands-off; P) This post was last edited by Scarlett on 2009-3-27 23:42.]
Project management is, to a large extent, about managing people – assigning different tasks to individuals based on their capabilities, and granting them appropriate authority. If nothing is delegated and subordinates have to seek approval for everything, big or small, it can be very exhausting. Additionally, it’s important to provide subordinates with training in work skills and methods, so as to improve their ability to handle tasks and their professional competence.
How to apply “non-action”! Do you mean the Taoist concept of non-action? This is indeed quite complex; I don’t quite understand it. It is only known that Taoism emphasizes \"withdrawal from the world,\" while Mohism emphasizes \"engagement in the world.\" These are mostly theories at a macro-management level, and they may not be very practical for actual project management.
:) As a subordinate, I hope that for the things I know how to do, my boss will let me handle them on my own, and for those things I don’t know how to do, he will help me learn how to do them*. But often it’s like this: for some very simple tasks, in an attempt to show concern for his subordinates, the boss interferes in every detail, turning what were originally simple tasks into complicated ones due to his interference. And when real problems arise, he simply says, “I don’t care how you do it; you must get it done,” and then ignores everything else; as a result, any problems that occur are blamed on the incompetence of the subordinate.
