To
Keep your Project from Floundering - Go Swimming!
 A
recent article in Chief
Project Officer noted that the success of some project managers
may cause leaders to incorrectly believe "that those who are
not as successful are somehow less capable or deficient in some
way." The author recommends that projects benefit when leaders
help keep everyone afloat. "As leaders, we have to create a
culture that maximizes the success and development of all project
managers, not just the gifted few who seem able to do well with
or without us."
Learn
how you can avoid a "sink or swim" philosophy by fostering
a culture of success.
PM Glossary Available from CompTIA
A
comprehensive glossary of standard terms and definitions for project
managers is now available from the Computing Technology Industry
Association. The glossary is free of charge and is available for
download.
