Project managers can be categorized into three types: oppressive, laissez-faire, and active.
Oppressive project managers focus on task completion with a tyrannical emphasis, leading to micro-management and declining morale.
Laissez-faire project managers adopt a hands-off approach, resulting in conflicts and disillusionment among the team.
Active project managers combine the best elements of the above styles, maintaining engagement without being intrusive, and focusing on problem-solving and holistic delivery.
