Why Is This The Most Important Question You Can EVER Ask... About ANY Project!

Why Is This The Most Important Question You Can EVER Ask... About ANY Project! >From the desk of: Arne Yri http://www.ProjectManagementMadeEasy.com Simply put... The most IMPORTANT question about ANY project you can EVER run is the FOLLOWING: HOW SERIOUS ARE YOUR MANAGERS - CEO'S and Board of Directores even at getting the PROBLEM (project) you're said to be manager of - RESOLVED? So... Stupid Question you say? Sure is, but in spite of stupidity - stupidity exists - and even more than you would first be able to imagine... You see - you can ask yourself - and prepare yourself on ALL of the questions you'll find below (and more)... HOWEVER: They will do you NO good - UNLESS you also asked yourself.... ...AND.. NOT LEAST: Your management how SERIOUS they are about THIS Venture you're now in charge of... or is about to be in charge of... B.S. you say? Well, think again: Who are the ones who hired you? Company Management - Right? So... If they had attorney and power to hire you - they sure can kick you outta' there too... The Jewish have a saying that I find Extremely Handy to know, and keep in the back of your head at EVERY time... They say - "The FISH will ALWAYS ROT from the head first..." (...and so it does...) And TYPICALLY SO: In EVERY of my projects - the main problem has - without exception - been management... And... Sadly enough - some managers are NOT the grown up's they pretend to be when you get into their territory - And SADLY - to many managers have way bigger an EGO than their POSITION within ANY organization should allow for... Simply put: As manager... This kind of BEHAVIOR is a courtesy - a luxury you cannot afford... or even yet... however much you could AFFORD it - You're NOT entitled to it... AND BEWARE: As ProjectManager - You're Management... Right? So, that may assume that before you know it... your head could be rotting too.... Without you even knowing... So, I suggest you - that from time to time - you ask your crew - what they REALLY think about your performance... Sure! When you're honest with yourself - you WILL KNOW when your crew - believes... You're THE MOST #
