World became too dynamic. A shot of this is phenomenal but a little more than dosed can bring you an unexpected result. The top challenge for Project Managers nowadays has been getting stakeholder’s accountability. It’s immeasurable the level of difficulty to retain a bit of “willingness to make it happen” on the project activities. People know that by tomorrow a new opportunity can easily appear outside, making them never aim in a long term view. Here it is – stakeholders are day by day failing to look at the present targets; resulting in a bad quality of delivery and future project delays; lack of people accountability are killing project managers by back.
So, bring your team to the present moment. Show them what are the aggregated value they are bringing to the company and for themselves just by completing a single project task. People need to see what are the benefits generated from their work and how positive they will be impacting in others or in a final result. Make them to be part of that and you are going to see people stop looking only in a short term view. Afterall, a dime a dozen for a thousand dollars result.
