I am a seasoned project manager with a very good success rate at delivering projects in my industry. I recently started with a new company (mfg of custom products, all made to order) and I am being managed by inexperienced and emotional people with a narrow focus.
I was hired because of my skill and experience, yet the suggestions and tools I have attempted to bring to the table have been shot down. Not a single meeting ever has any purpose or results. They don't track labor or cost of goods. Basically they judge if a project manager is successful or not on.... Well... Ummm.... I don't have a clue, and not a single person can answer that question for me.
My question is this: what is the best way to set goals for myself so I have a baseline to gauge my performance? I can't track labor accurately, but I can get material costs. Saving Changes...
