Читать книгу Project Management For Dummies - Stanley E. Portny - Страница 37

This quote, attributed to Sir Winston Churchill, captures the importance and potential reward of responsibility and even begins to reveal one of the reasons people tend to gravitate toward and respond positively to the leadership of those who are generally perceived as responsible.

Let’s be real — as a project manager, you’re responsible for all aspects of your project: the product or service to be delivered, the budget, the schedule, your project team, managing risks, ensuring that your stakeholders receive timely and meaningful status updates and are ultimately satisfied, and more. If the idea of taking on increased responsibility doesn’t appeal to you, then project management may not be a great fit. However, you’ve already taken responsibility for advancing your PM knowledge by reading this book and also, presumably, preparing to sit for the PMP certification exam. Both are very responsible choices that will almost certainly help you achieve greatness!
