Project Lead
Thus far, I've worked in 4 projects during my 4.5 years of 'Project Lead' journey for the company I'm currently employed at.
The Projects are as:
- ERP Application (3 years)
- F1Analytics (6 months)
- CogentEMR (7months), and
- eappointments (1.5 years)
With so many mountains and valleys walked upon; Today, I want to briefly self-reflect on what my experiences have taught me (in no particular order):
- It's not about you. Team First!
- Clarity over ambiguity
- Quality to Quantity
- Less Meetings, More Doing
- Delivery to Conformity
- Risk Taking to Playing-It-Safe
- Real Work to Illusion of Work
- Deadline is a fabricated guessing game at plain sight.
- Listen Intently.
- Stay Hungry, stay foolish, i.e, to say Update and upgrade your craft.
- Have 'Skin in the game' rather than bullshitting around delegating this, delegating that.
- It's okay to say 'I don't know'.
- Transparency to Dirty Politics.
- Read. Educate. Learn. Unlearn. Relearn.
- Help. Contribute.
And last, and a very important one --Like Simon Sinek says it Leaders Eat Last!
The list will be updated as I ponder over more...*
