I remember when I was a Kid, I always thought Project Managers were so Cool.  They made the Big Bucks, They were the Leaders in their fields.  They put teams together and accomplished Great things.

Over the years, and Being around Project management for almost 15+ Years, I have learned a thing or two about Project management, and I want to share some Tips, Tricks, and Tools that may help you grow and expand your PM skills.

Project Management can be looked at a few different Ways. It can be thought of as one person, or the leader of the group that is focused on accomplishing a Specific Objective, with usually a lot of different smaller Teams.

Tips for Project Management Systems

Project management is always done best by focusing on building your team with Solid Leadership Principles.  I don't like using the word manager a lot.  Managers are good at making sure systems are followed.  Leaders are great at making sure that the most important things get done, and they incorporate the people under them in leadership positions to help accomplish this.

Managers are not always the best Project managers... because it doesn't mean Crap if the systems you have in place are the best on the planet AND the wrong person is trying to LEAD your project management TEAM and people won't follow the leader or the systems.

Things won't be done right.  Responsibility will not be taken by everyone.

The first tip in your project management systems is this. This is a oxymoron statement..

Look for leaders to run it, Not Project Managers.  The leader Makes the Position, the Position doesn't make the Leader, and trust me, You don't want to try and prove me wrong.
