wwcitizenLast Wednesday morning, I left extra early for one of these Project Management meetings in midtown. I usually out by 9:00 or so heading down to work and getting there with 10 minutes to spare. It was called "the Zen approach to Project Management. It was really fluffy and new agey philosophy of Project Mgt:
1) Awareness, concentration and mindfulness...
2) A water analogy (and a guy who gets sick from drinking water...)
3) Open like the sky...
4) We have to be aware of our inner reactivity to emotions...
5) "Service is what counts" to quote this presenter...
6) "We need to stop being irrational and find freedom and serenity - not passive acceptance - to make things change..."
But the best part: there was a guy there who CLEARLY stepped out of a time machine from 1973. Leisure suit - brown - and a 60s pattern on his extremely polyester shirt
When the presenter uttered the seventh new age PM truth, "The only certainty is uncertainty," I left for work.
