6 & 7 seem to be contradicting. If you’re always away from your desk, how are you available? There’s a balance. Main key points are that if you’re able to evaluate priorities, manage time efficiently and can collaborate/communicate effectively... you’ll be a successful PM.
Great video, well presented. PM is definitely an art supported by science. I tend to be a "results merchant" and "table stakes" is a great way of simplifying what could become a complicated definition. Thanks!
Thank you for these. I have a project to manage my first actually this could be it and all these videos have actually helped me organize and focus on the multiple tasks at hand so thumbs up from me.
I sit at my desk, because I have to wait for developers to write code and can't be bugging them every 5 minutes. I hope that's ok. And I'm busy creating my plans etc. etc. which yes, allows me to answer questions and give feedback rapidly. I found some contradictions in those statements. However, I enjoyed your presentation immensely.
Joey Fish you don't have to take everything she said literally. pick and choose what relates to you and then mold it to your own perspective. Just because she said good PMs are mobile doesn't mean you are a bad PM for seating at your desk while waiting for developers to write code.
I don’t think the presenter meant that PM talk to team members and other stake holders every 5 mins. Be social, be communicative, make sure you are reachable and others feel that they can talk to you.
Thanks for uploading such informative video, I enhanced my knowledge from this, although I am not working as a PM but being a team member as per my understanding, I would like to add two points more which are. "Positive thinker and Problem solver" as well. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
Great Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Weydaniel Organized Dominator (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one off guide for getting 7000 plus project management and business templates minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend after many years got astronomical success with it.
I'm currently going to contractor school and there's alot to being a project manager.Im studying law mechanics liens,labor codes,accounting,bidsand management.
These video's are great, but I have to disagree with Project Managers being "bad" if they're at their desk often. I suppose the environment dictates, but I spend most of my time communicating via phone and follow-up email, so stakeholders have something tangible to work with. Making project charters, and plans and such also takes place at the desk and consumes a lot of time. Nothing exists until it's documented.
Good video; I am all of these, especially mobile and collaborative, yet I'm getting fired because Upper mgmt has undermined my efforts by A. joking about how no one likes the business unit I represent and B. no one reports to me, so they dont have to do the work. Mgmt doesn't clearly establish it as a priority. PM in a dysfunctional organization is the worst. I moved to a new city for this job, and ended being the scapegoat for their mess. No man alone can manage up enough to change the world by themselves.
bategs900 I did, yes. They considered it whining, instead of constructive feedback and a cry for help to make some much needed improvements to the system.
If i assume right than that means 1 of 3 things. 1 management may have a point 2. they're not understanding what your presenting to them basically you have to find a way to positively persuade them or 3 they're a negligent company and you need to persuade them or convince them or get a 3rd party involved potentially another company i dunno what else to suggest :') good luck Jane S.
Jane S The number 1 thing a company wants is a serious, dedicated person that can understand all concepts on what the company needs to get the job done. You may think you fall into this category but do you have what it really takes? From a business stand point a company doesn't want someone who jokes around about their area in the business field. So you said you were getting fired for joking around right? Look at it from your perspective if you were an owner of a business would you really want someone to joke around about their own job? I most certainly wouldn't. In fact I would probably fire them also. The thing is it really depends on what your job is. Project managers have a VERY important role in the business field. No company wants a person to joke around about that at all. Why? Because your the one who plans to get the job done. Other staff members don't want a leader who jokes around a lot about their own job because then the other staff feel like you aren't taking your job seriously leading to them feeling like you aren't worthy enough for them. Understanding another persons point of view is SOOOO important in this job.
No, you misunderstand me, I would never joke about my area of responsibility, that would just undermine my credibility. The company jokes about my area as being something no one wants to work on because they have other fish to fry, essentially. Everyone sort of rolls their eyes at it. Not the same in all companies, I've worked elsewhere where I was a rockstar because my project was the golden child project. Leadership should not favor one over another though, in any case.
Hello, my name is LaLa I found myself that taking Intrest in becoming PM what inspires this is that I lost my job 2 month ago. I was an office manager for 5 years and before that I was an operational manager for a dental office. I have my bachelors degree in Healthcare Administrations and most of my working experience is in Dental industry/ healthcare and administration. I love to lead team and I have excellent management skills. My questions are: Where do i began? Get my certification of pm and my exam first? In order for companies to even consider me for maybe entry level of PM? I am 47 years old is it even a wise for me to change my career now? What program do you suggest to get my certification of PM and get my exam done? I love to learn new things and I am constantly looking of ways to improve myself and systems. But I find myself to get board easy especially when I feel like there is no more growth at the job I do st the time. I would truly appreciate your respond.
My advice would be to get an entry level role in a project environment like a project admin, project officer, project coordinator. This will give you the foot in the door, but not sure what your situation is so it’s hard to say whether you should change careers.
Are "table stakes" something you season and serve with sauce?? I thought they were to price for being at the table, or the minimum requirement? Stakes not Steaks?? Could be wrong though
You are a bless person, you really are a kind of a one. God bless you and all your love one, Excellent videos, all the videos that you made! I do have your book, Great book too.
Good or Bad for who? You can't make all people happy always. Project sponsor perspective a PM is good if he delivers goods, but the same PM might look like a stringent and mean manager for most of the team who work for him. In my opinion, instead of taking pressure trying be a SuperMan PM, better to set priorities and be practical and try to work towards making your sponsor happy, because at the end everyone cares about the bottom line and crossing the line. So don't strive to be good, just try to achieve the goal set by your sponsor even at the cost of looking bad in the eyes of the rest.
Don’t agree with Project Managers sitting at their desks are bad ones. What about updating risks, drafting reports, updating finances that can’t be done moving around the office.
Sorry, but in all my years in project management, I have met very few Project Managers who fit the "good" category, especially when it comes to building relationships and acting in a professional and ethical manner. Most are "consultants" posing as Project Managers.
Its rather naive to think team members will be motivated by a PM who leads the team with a vision and passion and folks will fall in line. From my experience I was doing the PM role when the actual PM was a work shirker abusing his authority. The team members were another useless bunch who did not want to take ownership or estimate how long their tasks would take to complete. 2 weeks in the project and I had enough. Assigned tasks & set clear deadlines . You cant please everyone but if you bend over backwards you get taken advantage of.

hello, i would like to add # 14 which is "ability to analyze and evaluate"
Very clear and motivating presentation. Thank you!
I would add an #14 Honesty
It's important to be really honest with customer, with team, with sponsor and try to be such one with all of stakeholders
Beyond the honesty ,it may be having diplomacy
This was great. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. I was able to make a personal assessment and areas needed for improvement.
Excellent guide to baseline PMs performances.
Thank you so much for sharing! The explanation is quite interesting.
Its really a great coaching video

Joey Fish you don't have to take everything she said literally. pick and choose what relates to you and then mold it to your own perspective. Just because she said good PMs are mobile doesn't mean you are a bad PM for seating at your desk while waiting for developers to write code.
How do you switch and adapt from one project in one industry to another
If you dont take everything literal then there’s no point using it as training
I don’t think the presenter meant that PM talk to team members and other stake holders every 5 mins. Be social, be communicative, make sure you are reachable and others feel that they can talk to you.
Thanks for your technique information on the use like. I sometimes undergo that mistake.
I'm glad this could be of use!

How true
very useful!
This is good stuff! Thank you for sharing and for breaking each of them down like you did!

It's our pleasure!

Most of these points are not specific to only PM, it is for every career.
So cool video. thank you.
the reputation of a pm depnds on how he is supported by the HO in the means of material supply
if the HO fails PM also fails
What's HO?
Good One !

Jane S Did you voice your concerns to upper management? if not, that's your fault.
bategs900 I did, yes. They considered it whining, instead of constructive feedback and a cry for help to make some much needed improvements to the system.

Get a master's degree in management. Most companies will fund this effort.
My advice would be to get an entry level role in a project environment like a project admin, project officer, project coordinator. This will give you the foot in the door, but not sure what your situation is so it’s hard to say whether you should change careers.

+TooManyBrackets
Steak = meat
Stake = something to be lost or gained, something you put into the ground
No kidding?
Just just found her use of language in the first 60 seconds quite curious. Unless of course she is project managing a casino!
You are a bless person, you really are a kind of a one. God bless you and all your love one, Excellent videos, all the videos that you made! I do have your book, Great book too.
Sitting at a desk is not a sign of a bad project manager. This is especially true in COVID time.
timing is remarkable
Good or Bad for who?

Thank you. If you are ever in Toronto ping me and we can exchange stories !

How to find a mentor? Can you become a mentor?
I know where you can find one, if you are still looking for a mentor.

Hi

Project Management is a thankless job
I'm sorry but all the hand movements are very distracting for me to keep my focus on the talk.
G Stillwell you could just simply close your eyes and visualize and listen to her talk. Almost like closing your eyes and listening to music.
