In some ways, project management is a black and white profession. There are standard activities you should do, must do and can do to help better ensure project success. You must communicate well and often, you should always produce timely status reports, you can always hold weekly team meetings to stay up to date on all task assignments, and you ought to plan well and manage all tasks against a detailed project schedule.
And then there are just as many things that you don’t learn in the textbooks, the professional development unit (PDU) courses, or the “for dummies” books. Often, these are skills that you either have or you don’t; some you can fake until you get them right (if you ever get them right), and some you may never acquire and you find that you have to get out of the project management world before it eats you.
