How Busy Project Managers Turn Worry into Action

"Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning"

Winston Churchill

This quote / excerpt is by Winston Churchhill from his war planning effort.

Winston Churchhill:

• He is considered by most, an amazing leader - especially under pressure

The big idea here is worrying is a trigger for action, not a crippling emotion
worrying doesn't have to consume time - planning and executing can
worrying in others without action reflects lack of confidence or inexperience.

Here's how this applies to us and project delivery:

• If you're feeling worried, it's time to shift gears to planning and executing
• If you notice worry in your teammates, it's time to get on their team and off their back

So, let's put this into action:

1. Start noticing when you start worrying
2. Write down what you're worried about
3. Start planning to solve the problem or prepare for the outcome that's headed your way
4. Execute or support those on your team to get past worry and into action

Oh, and before I forget...
