Are you managing or leading?
A question worth pondering as you embark on your next project.
Project management is about meeting spec. The bulk of the work is in aligning resources, coordinating tasks, and reporting on progress. All crucial to getting work done. For this you need good followers on your team.
Project leadership is about creating a vision, guiding principles, and inspiring others to act (creatively). On this team, you’ll need more leaders. Leave room for others to step up, and create an environment that encourages them to do so.
