Be a leader, not a manager
Sunday, August 27th, 2006This is a great quote, that all project managers should heed:
Once I learned the very hard lessons of how to be a leader instead of a manager, I fully embraced the idea that a successful team was one where people of varying skills had the opportunity to fully demonstrate their talents. At the same time they could count on the different skills of others to help them be more successful than they could have been by themselves. That’s a mouthful, but it served me well.
