pulling teeth.’ I was working with two managers who were
behind schedule, and I didn’t seem to be able to make any
progress. I finally made a deal with them. If they would
send two a day for a week, we could complete the project
on time. Each morning I would call and ask if there was
anything I could do to help them make the daily quota.
It got so they looked forward to my call and my reminder.
I am proud to say that I made that deadline, and the
managers actually thanked me for getting them through
their dreaded chore.”
■“I remember a project on which I supervised seven people.
Between the multiple projects going on and the seven
people to keep track of, I wouldn’t have survived without
being very organized with reminders to myself to follow
through on certain dates, projects, or upcoming events. My
work ethic is that if I say I am going to do something, I can
assure you that I will do it, if at all possible. This project was
no exception. It was on time with only a minor problem or
two to take care of along the way.”
