The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo recommends "Ensure your project managers show up during project overtime." When a project team is in a crunch and working overtime or over the weekend to meet a deadline, the PM should lead as appropriate for the situation. Often times, project team members can become antagonistic at the end of a difficult project, especially when overtime is required. Might that affect their performance? You bet. And avoiding that is a project manager responsibility from a project team management perspective.
