Projects go through ups and downs, and it’s during the down times that PMs show their mettle in how they navigate their way out of pits of despair. The experience is invaluable, and can make the difference between project success and failure.
If we fully embrace the idea that we need to develop our own PM style, and that this will result in some evolution of us as people, we will soon find that we are managing projects in a way that is at least slightly different from everyone else around us.
While we might value the exercise of exceptional project heroics, that kind of effort is not sustainable. What stands in opposition to bold action is quiet competence. Effective delivery. Unruffled feathers. Something we need to celebrate.
