Finding Project Management Perfection
NOT someone who… IS someone who…
• is an excellent cat herder and awesome project conductor and collaborator.
• does not understand which direction the project needs to go.
• believes that their role is one of a “ninja” (not seen or heard).
• micro-manages the nuts and bolts.
• is not often present, but appears for the after-action pictures and celebration.
