Welcome to the September/October 2013 edition of carnival of project management. I'm glad that this edition is being hosted here this month - it makes a nice change!
So, without further ado, here are the top articles and some interesting reads for this time's Carnival.
Rich Maltzman, PMP presents Your PM Career – Inside Out posted at Earth PM, saying, "We discuss how sustainability can strengthen your PM career from the inside-out and from the outside-in."
Brian Daniel Young presents an introduction to Six Sigma: Why Six Sigma is Important in Business posted at Business and Sports Articles Blog - Cerilene.com. Although you may know that I'm not a massive fan of sports analogies in business.
Ben Aston presents How to run a great project kick-off meeting posted at The Digital Project Manager, saying, "All projects start somewhere. But how you start them can often dictate how the rest of the project or client relationship will run. Run a kick-off meeting well and the rest is much more likely to succeed; Run it badly, and you can find a project or relationship going backwards before you’ve even started. So here’s a few pointers to remember along the way." This article also includes a sample agenda for a kick-off meeting.
There's an article about leadership, Project Manager: leader or manager?, posted at The Project Manager Pad. "While the manager's vocabulary usually includes words such as administering, authority, duties or objectives, the leader talks to people's minds and leverage on their aspirations, needs and abilities more than on company's procedures. The leader acts as an authoritative person, combining conceptual skills like vision and innovation with human skills like influencing and trust."
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of project management using our carnival submission form.
