I still have a few days to decide but reading this article made me realize I might fail my team. I'm not as determined or as powerful as required. I always liked being there to give ideas not to gather them. I can't be firm about deadlines unless they are my own. I really don't see myself being harsh with an employee if he/she isn't done on time. I'm having a dilemma. Should I give it a try or simply refuse?</p><p></p>evelyntiffanyFri, 06 Nov 2009 09:47:02 -0000http://www.sheysmith.com/2008/08/19/the-human-side-of-project-management/#comment-1644661<p>Those are great tips, thanks Ehren!</p>SheyTue, 19 Aug 2008 13:05:01 -0000http://www.sheysmith.com/2008/08/19/the-human-side-of-project-management/#comment-1644636<p>Great post Shey! Good timing too as I'm searching for a project management tool :) From my experience, it's always good to talk about ideas and to keep discussing ideas until we sort out what's good and what's not. I think it's also extremely important to be up front about any mistakes a project manager makes themselves -- and to take into consideration that as a project manager, your team isn't working for you but actually the other way around.</p>Ehren CheungTue, 19 Aug 2008 13:02:43 -0000
