Progress only happens when we begin!
Sometimes, our next steps are not clear. Things become ambiguous, and we lose our sense of direction. Often, discussions and our thinking don’t lead to meaningful progress. One must start by taking small, deliberate steps. We still may not see the next steps clearly,...
Changing your frame!
When I feel stuck in the same routine and find it hard to know my next step, I often keep shooting in the dark without any meaningful results. The problem isn’t about capability, courage, or risk appetite. It’s that I keep trying to see a new picture through the same...
Business-As-Usual (BAU) Vs Project work!
Business-As-Usual (BAU) work is like engaging in ongoing warfare. Day in, day out, the troops are busy maintaining the front lines, managing the constant demands and challenges. Project work, however, operates like a special task force: its mission is to develop...
Death is the ultimate truth!
If death is the ultimate truth and I have no clue when I will take my last breath, then the present moment is all I truly possess. This very instant has become the most valuable time I have ever had. Plans, goals, and aspirations matter. They provide direction and...
Distance can strip away feelings!
Distance can strip away feelings of joy, pain, and sorrow. Over the phone or web, I may pretend that life is fine, even if deep inside I feel miserable. Those feelings, though hidden, are real and affect my work and family life. That’s why it’s essential to...
How not to get average work?
If given the choice, we often lean toward laziness rather than proactivity. We conserve our mental energy and focus on tasks only when they seem significant. Tasks become meaningful when our name is attached, when we’re clearly accountable for their success, when we...
The outcome is beyond our control!
Our fate is shaped by our decisions, actions, and what we learn (good or bad). It's entirely possible that luck could override all of our efforts, making our deeds seem irrelevant. Similarly, we might work hard and still be too unlucky to see the rewards. The reality...
Living with a sense of balance!
The goals, desires, and aspirations I had in the past seem to hold little value today. Once achieved, I found myself searching for more. Their importance lasted only until the moment I reached them. This makes me wonder: things that feel essential to us now may lose...
Courage to act!
The strength of character is determined by the courage to act. Change demands that we consistently embody this strength, facing challenges with resilience. Transformation begins when the community, united, mirrors this character in a shared direction. It all starts...
It is about our intent!
Even when two project managers (PMs) demonstrate equal hard work and skill, their internal goals (intent) ultimately shape the project outcome. As leaders, we must recognise these goals, which are crucial to the project's success. Take, for example, the first PM who...
Take pride in being busy!
We may take pride in being busy. However, we can be busy due to many wrong reasons, such as; firefighting customer complaints, employee HR issues, rescuing bad projects, and undertaking manual labour where automation is so accessible. Most living beings on our planet...
It is about the ride called life!
Life moves on with the faith that the future will be brighter. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s worth pushing ahead despite the struggles. We hold countless hopes, desires, and assumptions that the seeds we sow and nurture will grow into strong trees...
