What Is Productive Laziness?

‘Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.’ Robert Heinlein (1907 – 1988)

By advocating being a ‘lazy’ project manager Peter does not intend that we should all do absolutely nothing.

Peter is not saying we should all sit around drinking coffee, reading a good book and engaging in idle gossip whilst watching the project hours go by and the non-delivered project milestones disappear over the horizon. That would obviously be plain stupid and would result in an extremely short career in project management, in fact probably a very short career full stop!

Lazy Does Not Mean “Stupid”

Peter just means that we should all adopt a more focused approach to project management and to exercise our efforts where it really matters, rather than rushing around like busy, busy bees involving ourselves in unimportant, non-critical activities that others can better address, or indeed that do not need addressing at all in some cases.

The Social Project Manager describes a non-traditional way of organising projects, managing project performance and progress.

The aim being to deliver, at the enterprise level, a common goal for the business; one that harnesses the performance advantages of a collaborative community.

Social elements help mitigate the constraints associated with the control aspect of project management, which is essential for governance. Team collaboration, problem solving and engagement in projects will never come from technology alone but require careful management.

Peter draws on research from projects and the worlds of social media and communication to paint a vivid and practical guide to the why and how of social project management.

There is no simple template for you to follow; instead he provides an explanation of the benefits, the tools and the constraints so that readers can navigate through to an approach that is sensitive to the culture of their organization and the nature of the projects that they run.

Alongside the author’s ideas, the text features advice and case examples from many of the leading technology providers.

The Social Project Manager: Balancing Collaboration with Centralised Control in a Project Driven World  is a very-readable and down-to-earth guide from one of the most highly-regarded practitioners and commentators on the world of project management.

Delivering a live training session or presentation may only be one responsibility among the many that you as a subject matter expert, manager, or trainer have in your organization.

So when it is necessary to share you expertise and help develop the skills of others by conducting live training, are you using the “spray and pray technique” – spraying your participants with information and praying that it sticks?

• What results are you getting from these training efforts?
• Are your participants truly learning, remembering, and implementing what you’re teaching them?
• Are they able to perform better back on the job after these sessions?

Without proper training, it’s easy to copy the mistakes even smart presenters make that create disinterested, disengaged, and dissatisfied attendees – and prevent them from remembering and applying what you’re teaching them.

These mistakes sabotage the time, effort, and cost that you put into your session plans.

By the end of this interactive session, you’ll be better able to:

• avoid 3 common training mistakes that cause participants to become bored, unmotivated, and restless during training sessions and presentations
• use strategies to avoid these costly training mistakes
• plan techniques that increase trainee engagement and learning
• increase the chances that participants can use what you’re teaching them back on the job
