Is there a difference between a project leader and a project manager? A project manager can be described as the person responsible for directing and coordinating human and material resources, but this definition tends to focus on the administrative aspects of project work. However, the authors see a distinction between the style of leaders and managers according to their primary focus. The respective positions of leaders and managers on a number of issues are shown listed in Table 2.[8][9][10] It is a truism that leadership focuses on doing "the right things" while managers focus on doing "the things right".

我想這是每個人對文字解讀的不同，不過以我所解讀的印象來看，kenchu 似乎想把技術與管理完全切開，甚至認為可以忽略管理的 soft skill。我並不否定技術與管理可以真的切開，針對不同的情況會有不同的做法；但專案經理最重要的是領導你的團隊，帶領他們走向專案成功的道路，所以領導是專案經理最重要的工作。PMI 認為，專案經理 90% 的時間是用在溝通協調。專案經理往往要等到別人下班以後，才有可能有時間處理專案的其它工作。所以，soft skill 對專案經理而言是非常重要的，忽略它並不是明智之舉。

當然以上只是我的感覺，不一定是對的。
