The wrong IT manager will cost you big time
An IT manager can make or break your project.
With the wrong person in charge, you lose time, money and trust.
In this article, we show you how to spot weak leadership and what works instead.
What we’ve seen
Sometimes you walk into an IT project and feel it instantly.
Everyone’s working hard. But no one knows why.
Deadlines slip. Budgets evaporate. Frustration builds.
And then you see who's in charge.
An IT manager who’s nice, social, even involved. But...
- Doesn’t make decisions
- Has no grip on the tech
- Can’t bridge team and business
That’s how projects fail.
Poor leadership shows up too late
The first months? Everything seems fine.
Meetings happen. Everyone stays busy.
But something’s missing: direction.
Six months later, you’re still stuck.
Starting over. With less trust and a drained budget.
So what does a strong IT manager actually do?
- Sees the bigger picture
- Makes tough calls
- Connects business and tech
- Brings calm and focus to the team
No micromanaging. No endless talking.
Just leadership that delivers.
