D= Dominance
I = Influence
S = Steadiness
C = Conscientiousness
I have no “I” (Influence) and I need people to do things they don’t necessarily want to do.

“If a worker doesn’t have something to do, lets’ find him something to do.”
Why were we working so hard at getting our clients to complete deliverables and not getting anywhere?

Aikido blends the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on.
It requires very little physical energy, as the practitioner simply deflects the attacker's momentum.

“You wanted to fall.”
“I just helped you.”

Project Management is an art to be mastered.
It is a role with lots of responsibility and little authority.
One needs to master soft skills to help you navigate
successfully to the target ... the end of the project.
BUT, managing a project can often feel like warfare as
you engage difficult people and intractable issues.
It may seem that head-on force is the answer.
Sometimes, that works. Sometimes, force is met with
force.

Project Management when practiced artfully…can be like Aikido.

“I needed to succeed.”
“You just helped me.”

Here are five examples
1. Be Incorrect on Purpose
2. Shoot me in the head, please!
3. Be transparent and take the hit
4. You are in my critical path!
5. Let the data speak

“You wouldn’t give me the information I needed.”
“I tricked you by saying I was going to use bad information and immediately you gave me what I needed!
![Page 14: 2013 Resource Planning Summit Charles Howell - Provoking People into Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042815/5585b37cd8b42a695a8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Request: “Document this process...
Response: You’re kidding! … Please shoot me in the head!”
Be provocative by writing a draft version of the required documentation.
People will gladly tell you where you are wrong and provide additional details.
The job gets done!

“I needed the documentation done.”
“I coaxed it out of you and got it on the fast track!”

“Reviews needed to be done on time.”
“I aired my dirty laundry and shamed them to action!”
![Page 18: 2013 Resource Planning Summit Charles Howell - Provoking People into Action](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042815/5585b37cd8b42a695a8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Hone your Provoking Strategies
Make them work for YOU – even if you don’t have a low “I”
You can provoke Colleagues, Bosses, Vendors with Calculated Impunity
And, have Associates marvel at your Project Success
