Rachel Gertz, Partner, Systems Consultant & Trainer at Louder than ten discusses some philosophies around project management. And roles and disciplines as teams grow and projects evolve over time.
Discussion points

Emotional intelligence: empathy is taught.
Be a champion for your team, they are dealing with a lot
Should designers PM? Designers need to have empathy too
When building teams hire less for fit, and more for the ability to make decisions based on business goals.
PM's role needs to be unique because they need to be held accountable for project success/failure. Strategy focus
Creative has the load of creativity, is it fair to have the role of asking the hard questions like scope, goals, body language.
