Some Rules for a PM to Live By - 1

by Mark Davison February 5. 2011 13:04

Know what you want. Focus on it. Work toward it. Achieve it.
Know when to go with the flow, or resist. Both have their place.
Take responsibility for what you do. If you are unhappy, take responsibility to change things.
Do what's important - don't procrastinate. Get it done.
Be a winner - don't quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
Sometimes you will fail, or take a misstep. OK - get up and keep moving. Be self aware and make apologies. It's not the end of the world.
Be thankful. Remember how fortunate you are and your successes. Thank others for their help and support.
Be friendly and kind to others. Being unfriendly and nasty are not a winning philosophies, and and remember what goes around comes around.
Set high expectations. Expect the best. Challenge yourself and others to give their best.
