Project Management

The Big Time

by
Managing any project successfully is all about Team Work combined with years of Accrued Expertise. It is an asset to have an educational background that compliments your field of expertise but "education" without "experience" is like an "arrow" without a "bow." You can never make a perfect shot with a temporary arrow unless you have a permanent bow called: "Life's Experience." Remember, you can never teach experience but you can always teach from experience.

Blame: Blow away the Fame !

linkedin twitter facebook Request to reuse this  

         

People spend too much time finding other people to blame in order not to put themselves on the line. Blaming someone else might sound great to many but they will end up with no one else to blame except themselves because by blaming others, you give up your power to grow and change. 

While managing projects, always try to fix the problem, not the blame because blaming demotivates your team and build internal fear which will reflect negatively on their performance. I've always believed in these two quotes:

"A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit". Arnold H. Glasow

"You can't blame gravity for falling in Love". Albert Einstein

Always Remember: Life is an Echo, what you send out comes back !

Before Theory: Ethics of Life and Management !

linkedin twitter facebook Request to reuse this  

For everything in this world, there are certain ethics which contribute towards success. I would say, Hard Work contributes 50% towards success and the rest goes for Ethics. 

Some of the most important and basic Ethics of Life are: 

  • Before you Pray - Believe 
  • Before you Speak - Listen 
  • Before you Spend - Earn 
  • Before you Write - Think
  • Before you Quit - Try
  • Before you Die - Live 

Project Management is not any different. It has it's own ethics which contributes towards the success of projects:

  • Before you Initiate - Evaluate 
  • Before you Execute - Plan 
  • Before you Change - Analyze
  • Before you Blame - Communicate 
  • Before you Expect - Give 

Always Remember: If an egg is broken by an outside force, life Ends - If an egg is broken by an inside force, life Begins: Great things happens from the inside !

Top of the Pile !

Usually when people achieve success, they start relying on it and might slow down ignoring all the changes in the world around them.

Don't ever let success get to your head because what is more important than reaching the top of the pile is STAYING THERE

Always Remember: The Road to Success is always Under Construction !

Think Outside the Box !

linkedin twitter facebook Request to reuse this  

Our world and Environment are continuously changing in many directions, forms and shapes. As a result, our daily life style, needs and priorities will change at some point.

In order to be able to cope with all changes and strike a balance, we should always think outside the box and look at things differently as sometimes the greatest ideas are just right in front of you. 

The exact same thing applies to: Project Management ! 

Always Remember: If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change !
