Words of Wisdom from Stephen Covey

“Think about it this way: When trust is low…it places a hidden "tax" on every transaction: every communication, every interaction, every strategy, every decision is taxed, bringing speed down and sending costs up.”*

* FromThe Speed of Trust by Stephen MR Covey

Trust• Trust is a compentency you can learn• Trust must be earned; rarely does one start

from a position of trust• It is hard work to be trusted…

But well worth the effort.

Some projects are easy to explain why you are doing them…

Others are less obvious like an unproven idea or a product upgrade

This is ONE Way to Give Context to Projects

…that makes sense to the business owners, the project

manager and the technologists.

2013 NCPMI Annual Conference

But you have to determine the right way to give context…and if you don’t

get it right the first timekeep trying!

Extroverts Introverts• Brainstorming

in meetings is fun!

• Will take you through their entire thought process whether you like it or not.

• Brainstorming in meetings is a lot of noise.

• Will only speak until they have a complete, well thought-out idea.

Susan’s Rules for Engagement

1. Everyone’s opinion matters2. Being on the team is a choice3. Ask for the commitment:

“Do you want to work on this project?“Can we do this?”“Are you with me?”

Extroverts and Introverts Are Equally Valuable• Understand your personal preferences

– If you are the team lead and you are an extrovert, let people know you are just thinking out loud

• Understand the types you have on a team– Ask, just ask, if you don’t know

• Understand that Introverts need to prepare for a meeting– Send the meeting materials and the agenda, complete with questions that will

be discussed, the day before• Understand an extrovert (just one!) can derail an entire meeting by

not allowing others to speak– You must a) control the meeting and b) make space for the introverts to voice

their concerns or ideasInsert Your Logo here

A couple was preparing the holiday ham when one of them said, “why do we always cut the ends of the ham off?

“I don’t know,” replied the other. “I guess I always did it because my mom always made her hams that way.”

“Let’s call mom and ask.”

Mom replies, “I cut off the ends off the ham because my mother always cut off the ends of the ham.” Needing to resolve the mystery, they decided to call Grandma.

“Grandma, why did you cut off the ends of the ham?” Grandma replied, “I cut off the ends of the ham because my roasting pan was too small.”*

Society has a tendency to perpetuate myths…

It is critical you understand if there are “monkeys” or “hams” hanging around your project.

People are complex.

You will never know everything you need to know....

But you can try, you have to try.

• “Auto University” – Books on tape, everyday

• Read, Read, and Read.– “Fifty-eight percent of all people in our society, when

they finish their formal education, never read another meaningful book. That's unbelievably tragic and limiting. On the other side of the scale, those who make "Who's Who in America" read an average of 20 meaningful books in a year. “ – Zig Ziglar
