This year I've learned not to make assumptions and that things are not always as they seem. There's often a back story and other factors affecting a situation that you may have no clue about.

2014 was an enormous year of learning. Perhaps the biggest lessons came from an interview with Piers Steel, author of The Procrastination Equation.
As project managers we know the value of a deadline--it's something to shoot for. We also know that Student Syndrome is alive and well--that people on our teams often delay and then try to cram the work in at the end.
