Alchemy for Managers Weekly Tip
Project Management sounds like a big deal, but actually, anything you do that is outside your ordinary day-to-day activities is a project.
And because projects are unusual and different, they get noticed. Managing a project well, even a small one, will make a big difference in how you are seen as a manager.
The Essential Why, What and How of Projects
It is essential when starting out on a project that those involved agree why the project is being done and what the outcome should be. Then you need a plan. Without these in place, your chances of success are small.
