Project managers that are competent understand that they have to have a single minded commitment when it comes to delivering a project on time and within the budget. That does not mean everyone else on the project team will be able to work at the maximum amount of effort that will be needed to complete a project all of the time. That is why competent project managers also allow other people time to mentally and physically recover from hard parts of a project.
