BEP 419 – Tiếng Anh cho các dự án: Quản lý xung đột với nhà thầu 2
Chào đón trở lại Tiếng Anh thương mại Pod for the second part of our look at managing conflict with subcontractors. In this lesson we’re going to focus on dealing with scope creep, cost disputes and conflicting priorities.
When things go sideways with contractors, it’s rarely because of one big mistake. It’s usually a thousand small disagreements that pile up. Different expectations, unclear goals, or shifting priorities can spoil what’s supposed to be a healthy collaboration. Learning to manage these conflicts will help you keep projects on track and maintain trust.
When problems come up, smart project managers don’t avoid the hard conversations. Thay thế, they face things head-on. This requires good communication skills, and fortunately, these skills can be learned.
Some of the things you might face are conflicts over the scope of a project or resources. And don’t be surprised if you disagree on money, or costs. Learning to face these issues directly is one thing. But you also need to learn the art of compromise and seek constructive solutions.
