"THE LIGHTER SIDE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT"

TRAITS OF A 'HALO EFFECT' PROJECT MANAGER (003)

Continuing with the ‘Halo Effect PM’ series @ PM4K, here’s 5 more ways to identify Project Managers that know squat (nothing) about Project Management:

11. he/she spends most of his/her time babysitting team members by constantly checking on them.

12. he/she blindly orders a 10% cut off any estimates provided.

13. he/she feels that the only human resource responsibility a Project Manager has is to give orders.

14. the only reward he/she can think off is for himself/herself.

15. according to him/her, Quality Management is only needed for manufacturing industries.

Keep your eyes open. You'll spot one (Halo Effect Project Manager), when you see one ;)

Funny but sadly true!!!

Just discovered your site, but I'll definitely keep updated. Congratulations for your humorous approach to project management.

Please let me invite you to visit our own PM educational site (http://blogs.salleurl.edu/project-management).

I'm afraid it's in Spanish, but comments in English are welcome too!

brilliant thought!!! a kick in the back side for all 'wannabe PMs'. awesome stuff Mathew.. it's always great to be learning the funny way :)

I also get a feeling that you are a PM trainer. If that's true, I'd be itnerested in enrolling myself for your classes. Your sense of humor & smile (we can see your profile snap) would make it interesting to get trained by you.

Keep up the great work...
