Self-Management

SM 04:00

Overview

What Is It?

Project Manager has his own material and immaterial (cognitive and spiritual) resources. Their balanced deployment decides about the efficiency of his own actions and is conditioned by his intrinsic motivation, values and goals. Proper management impacts his and other actions.

Who Does It?

Project manager himself has to take care about his own process, as it tangles his personal inner values and motivation, crucial to the overall efficiency of his actions.

Why Is It Important?

Project manager stays in focus of stakeholders and team’s attention. His values are scrutinized and decide about his actions. His motivation impacts his effectiveness and is infectious to his team. His balanced spiritual and intellectual personality as well as properly assigned deployment of material resources lends compulsory credibility to his decisions.

What Are the Steps?

Verify and close pending process improvements and tasks. Periodically or upon demand (from CM) review and adjust your values and goals. This along other factors may impact your intrinsic motivation: build it up. Evaluate your strengths/ weaknesses, life attitude, emotional and cognitive perception and take corrective actions if needed. Verify your time management, stress conditions, physical abilities to do the job. Adjust where necessary. After verifying all roles check if Change Request or Knowledge Management shall be addressed.

What Is the Work?

The developments of coherent personality, which act upon own values in convinc-ing way is a challenge. Manager tends to skip self-reflection and serious personal improvements – be honest on this issue. As our values evolve over the years it is difficult to change them – so can the goals, motivation, and personal resources balance be aligned with team and stakeholder expectations?

How Do I Ensure That I Have Done It Right?

Be honest with yourself and take time for self-reflection. Align your values with those of your team and stakeholders. Be coherent. Act upon your personal conclusions.

Goal

The goal of self-management is to increase satisfaction from work and daily life through a skilled management of one’s own personality and resources taking into consideration own weak and strong points, their usage and steering their development.

Process

It makes sense also here first to revert to the outstanding issues. Change request, an occurrence or periodical trigger initiate your review of your personal values, goals, intrinsic motivation, your personal intellectual capital and material resources, which trigger appropriate action. If you consider it suitable – share your conclusions with others: through CM or KM
