Savvy project sponsors know that putting too much pressure on project managers or their team members doesn't produces benefits. Instead, the most common result tis that he project manager or team member hides problems until they're too big to conceal and much more difficult to solve.
Project managers have to learn to cope with project sponsors and other executives who use intimidation as their technique for improving project results. Take a look at the Status Meeting Video. Then add your evaluation of how the project manager did in the status meeting.
