Drake Settsu Project Manager / Blogger Hi, United States

Watch this short video on getting a project back on track.

This approach could be used for any type of project.

I'm interested in hearing some feedback on this approach.

I like this innovative approach! :) The best moment was - The look on the face of the contractor when the architect arrives. :P

Wow... I LOLed at every single point. I didn't expect it to be that funny. I'm glad I watched this at home at not in the office. :-D
I'd love to see the project schedule for the Death Star.

Great video, Drake and good illustration of some of the "dark" sides of expert, referent and punitive power!

However, like I always say "Using the Force is NOT a plan!"

Thanks Drake for sharing an innovate approach of managing project. But the contractor was really scared.

I want to share an experience that I had with a team member that dodged my request for a status for one week. Constant excuses. I used a tame Darth Vader approach to get the information I needed. It worked. I closed the conversation with my boss will not like the progress being made.

A new experience to see a movie clip deconstructed with a strategical approach.
