The term “manager’s psychological academicism” is defined as a manager’s readiness and competence in the field of interaction with clients and partners, combining professional management aspects with psychological knowledge and skills. The authors of the study stress that in order to overcome the psychological academicism of a manager, it is necessary to have an understanding of the psychological characteristics of clients, to be able to perceive their needs and expectations, and to adapt personal communication strategies in accordance with clients’ requirements. Particular attention is given to the ability to listen, understand and communicate effectively with clients, as well as building trust and positive relationships with them. In addressing the issue of psychological academicism, the key aspects of emotional control and emotional intelligence are discussed. The paper also highlights the importance of negotiation skills and adaptation to clients’ cultural characteristics and values for successful co-operation. Thus, the key to successful collaboration and achievement of business goals is the development of psychological academicism in the interaction of the architect and construction manager with the client. Recommendations for overcoming psychological academicism will help managers improve service quality, build trust and achieve success in their work, such as developing empathy, communication skills, cultural awareness, conflict management and building positive relationships. This approach will contribute to the creation of a positive working environment, the promotion of charismatic leadership and the increase in the effectiveness of projects in the architecture and construction industry. To sum up, overcoming psychological academicism is an important component of successful leading and working in a manager’s professional life. Overcoming psychological academicism will contribute to the successful implementation of projects and improve client relations, which will help to strengthen the market position and develop the business.
