“博大的胸怀”包括四种人类品质:谦逊、经验、领导力和耐力。
谦逊是倾听利益相关者的意见,理解他们的意见,并据此采取行动。这是要承认你的想法如果不进行修改可能就行不通——其他人可能有更好的方法来实现你的目标,因为他们更了解一些挑战。如果不谦逊,项目就会失败——无论是在交付过程中还是在利益实现过程中。
第二个重要的品质是经验。经验抵得上一千个工具和模板。这听起来似乎是一个显而易见的观点,但我们采访的所有公司都同意,经验是合理直觉和判断的基础。经验告诉你什么感觉是对的,什么感觉是错的。当然,在没有逻辑的情况下,不会做出任何关于程序的决定。经验是通往正确逻辑的捷径。
第三个品质,领导力,意味着有时你做了人们不喜欢的决定,但仍然能取得胜利。优秀的项目领导者不只是做出艰难的决定,他们还会与他人一起做决定。他们这样做是因为他们的信仰。与谦逊相结合,信念为团队提供了能量,使每个人都朝着同一个方向努力。
耐力是我们最后一个重要的品质。只有当所有人都与你合作,而不是与你对抗时,全球项目才会起作用。然而,让人们在整个项目中都与你在一起是一项艰巨的工作。光说“我们同意这样做;我们需要继续前进。”每一个障碍和异议都必须以保持团队团结为目标来解决——否则项目不会成功。
“Broad mind” comprises four human qualities: humility, experience, leadership and stamina.
Humilityis about listening to stakeholders, understanding what they say and acting on it. It is about acknowledging that your idea might not work without modification – that others may have a better way of achieving your objectives, because they know more about some of the challenges.Without humility, the project will fail – during delivery or in benefit realisation.
Experience The second big-heart quality is experience. Experience is worth a thousand tools and templates. It sounds like an obvious point to make, yet all the companies we interviewed agreed that experience is fundamental to sound intuition and judgment. Experience tells you what feels right and what feels wrong. Of course, no decision on a program ever gets made without there being some logic to it. Experience is the short cut to the right logic.
Leadership The third quality, leadership, means that sometimes you take decisions that people don‟t like, and still carry the day.Good project leaders don‟t just make tough decisions, they carry people with them. They do this through their belief. In combination with humility, belief provides energy to align the team so that everyone pulls in the same direction.
Stamina is our final big-heart quality. A global project only works if everyone works with you, not against you. However, keeping people with you throughout a project is hard work. It is not enough to say “we agreed this; we need to move on”. Each obstacle and objection must be tackled with the aim of keeping the team as one – the project won‟t be successful otherwise.
