Managing Project Stakeholders
Project Management Maxims:
? You

can’t do it all and get it all done. work is not the same as leading.

o Projects usually involve a vast web of relationships.
? Hands-on

o More pressure and more involvement can reduce your effectiveness as a leader.
? What’s

important to you likely isn’t as important to someone else.
o Different groups have different stakes (responsibilities, agendas, and priorities) in the outcome of a project.

? Remember:

project management is tough, exciting, and rewarding—endeavor to persevere.
