Submitted as: Dr. Jimmie Flores
Project managers know that delivering a project late is problematic. In some cases, customers are willing to accept going over-budget, but behind schedule is tolerated much less. For example, let's assume that our project is to prepare a venue for a global conference. We need to ensure that the meeting rooms have the proper arrangement, the audio/visual equipment is working right, the caterers are confirmed, and so on. As you can see, there's little wiggle room here. If any part of this project is late, it will cause a cascading effect.

There are far too many people who are afraid they will fall short. In some cases, we avoid posting for a job because it will place us in the line of fire. I know of many situations where people stick with a profession they do not like mostly because they fear falling short of expectations. As a business owner, friends and colleagues tell me they want to someday start their own business, but they find it hard to leave the comfort of a steady paycheck...(read

Don't Drinks For First Class!
Submitted as: Dr. Jimmie Flores

I know it probably sounds cool that I was bumped to the front cabin, but the reality is that the flight is only about 30 minutes long.
