Wondering why the topic of ‘project management’ came to me today? Good guess…because today is one of those days that I don’t want to lead. I don’t want to be in charge. I don’t even really want to be the parent today. Thankfully, that is always temporary and usually only when I am sick or very sleep deprived or both – which is the case today.
What about the project management role? Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought, “today I don’t feel like leading…I just want to follow.” Come on…you know it’s happened at least a couple of times and it’s ok to admit it. The problem is, as the project manager, you do still have to lead. But it doesn’t always have to be hard. In fact, the more you focus on best practices routinely in your project management leadership roles, the less chaotic that leadership will be and the less burdensome that leadership will seem.
