This cast explains the SECOND most important behavior or habit to ensure your success as a project team member.

It’s one thing to manage a project. But far more of us are ON projects, not managing them. How can we do this while still getting “all of our real work done”?

We have a series of recommendations – this is the second one. ;-)

Note: We made reference to the cast we did on resumes. You'll find it here: Your Resume Stinks!

desire: casts on conflict and on non profits

I work with non profits and conflict. I work with people who by and large are very poor in both these areas...and would like some of your "wise" insights. Read Drucker..he is good!! Dennis Ladd (8540)

rule 1

I'm guessing that the first rule is to actually set deadlines.

I'm working inside a project where the "main" division is failing to do just that and it's a living hell.

The old cliche is not true -- that "a failure of planning on your part does not make an emergency on my part".... they're making everything an emergency for me! :)

I always know I'm in trouble when their meetings start with "so, what's up?". As MT say - it should be who does what by when.

Apologies for blowing off steam. Better here than at work!
