Setting yourself apart isn’t
about sucking up or playing politics. It’s about knowing what’s
important and delivering against those things which are important.
It’s not about playing favorites or engaging in political nonsense
to put yourself at the top of the heap...

In today's "Glocal" environment
more and more organizations are turning to virtual meetings to help
people connect and more effectively get things done. Virtual
meetings can be very powerful, but also can be a major detractor to
doing business.

I once worked for a manager
who was probably one of the smartest people I have ever met.
He had a Ph.D. from a very prestigious university and could think in
dimensions I could only hope to be able to understand before I died.
I was in awe of his intellectual horsepower and pure knowledge.
What I wasn’t in awe of was his lack of desire to establish and
communicate a cohesive direction for the team. In his own mind
he truly believed that both he and everyone else understood the
direction he wanted to take the organization. The truth was
that we as a team had absolutely no clue where he wanted to take the
organization; worse still, he would get very irritated when we tried
to pin him down on direction. So, while I was highly impressed
in his intellectual horsepower, I had great difficulty with not
having a clear understanding of the direction he wanted to go.

From a very practical perspective, my
Ebay experience was highly irrational. I was
willing to sacrifice sleep and get wrapped around the axle about
something which costs no more than breakfast for two.
Yet I allowed my emotions to get wrapped up in getting
that silly flash memory stick despite the logic of it not being
that expensive and that sleep should have been more valuable to
me than saving a couple of dollars. As project
managers, we can experience the same phenomenon when driving
projects...
