Work vs Responsibility

2 colleagues were chatting about their work while sipping tea. One colleague said he was loaded with work. He couldn't get time to do anything and felt drained everyday by the time going home. he asked about other colleague work and his feelings. The other colleague mentioned, well, I had given a higher responsibilities. I had been doing lots of work and I didn't find time for other stuff. I felt like charged in dealing with responsible work. I could see the progress everyday and I enjoyed it.


It is a fun when we are loaded with responsibilities. It makes us enjoy the work. It creates a positive stress which makes us to deal with.
Work assignment generates negative stress which makes us to run away not to deal with. See the difference. Work load is similar. But the way it is given is different. leader knows it. he gives the responsibilities and provides direction. It is a conversation which creates either positive energy or negative energy based on language we use. So leader knows right language. He creates future and righ environment.

It is very clear on how a person performance changes based on these 3 laws.
1. A person actions are perfectly correleates to how things occure to him.
2. How thing occurs to a person arises in language
3. A future based language changes how things occurs to a person.

Defining and predicting the project success

Of-course the project success depends on many factors like skills, tools, process, scope and timelines.
When it comes to resources, project success predictability can be measured by resources competency, process adherence and metrics collected over the process.
Metrics which are being collected must be useful in determining the project health in terms of the following
1. Is there any risk in the project?
2. Is there any risk at resources capacities?
3. Is there any risk of meeting delivery time lines?
4. Is all stakes holders getting right information during project execution?
5. Is project in predictable state?


This makes the leaders to have right environment to develop and use factors of competency, process and metrics based on process.

In this lines, I have come up with a program or tool to use and improve competency, productivity and predictability. I called this as mentoring program to make everyone powerful and able contribute on proactive manner.

My mentoring program is concentrated on the following items
1. Increasing Technical capability
2. Defining and adhering to suitable process as per the project environment
3. Leadership
1. thinking as whole release or project
2. building trust
3. Ownership or entrepreneurship
4. maintaining relationship

I will talk about these details in next blog
