My New Year Resolutions
Well, inspired by the following post, I have decided to publish my resolutions:
1. Do not care so much (Impossible for me, sometimes, but possible for a lot of PMs that I know)
2. Be more opened with all the departments (I have learned from the last job, that as a PM we must be a “good” friend with all the departments in order to have the job done – on time. The force, the escalate or any other stuff mentioned in books, are only in books. In real life, people help you if they believe in your product or if they believe in you)
3. Talk more – smile more
4. Have lunch and eat less for dinner
5. Walk more (use the public transportation rather than the personal car) – this should be easy, because the new office is in the city center and not outside the town
6. Talk more with the customer care departments – at the end of the day, there are the persons who discuss every day with the customers
7. Knock on as many door as I can, although they may never open
8. Learn and read more
9. Relax during vacation and not worry about job problems (or read the email every morning)
10. Trust myself more
Some of them will be hard to achieve, but I’m sure that I can check all of the items by the end of 2010.
