I absolutely had to share this with you. PM411 (you’ll find a link to his blog in my blogroll) said this about me today, and it tickled me so much I favourited it and saved it to disk.
In a way, managing projects is like being on a roller coaster. And throwing up. And getting it in your hair. But when it’s done, you might need a shower and some serious dry cleaning, but you wouldn’t trade the experience for anything!
It’s been a crazy, crazy long run full of these insane highs of success and these ridiculous lows of failure. I’m not sure if my career needed lithium or if I did. But if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Except maybe I’d be thinner. Okay, and not blow my nose at restaurant tables…that habit really hurt my dating life.
Like this article? Why not spread it around?
I'm Geoff Crane. After 22 years in the trenches of a lot of tough projects, I decided to change direction a little bit and focus on sparking ideas in the vibrant field of project management.
If you're a project manager, or even if you're one voice in the project choir, you are in a position to be truly remarkable. Without exaggerating, you have within you the capacity to change the world, just because of who and where you are!
