Management Success: Stop Complaining, Start Acting

Circumstances always exist; it’s a fact of life.

What I have noticed is that managers sometimes fall into the trap of complaining about the circumstances.

While it might be tempting and make you feel good in the short term, does it really achieve anything long term?

As a manager, you are employed to deliver results. Achieving results requires you to take decisions and then act on those decisions.

So where are you focusing your attention as a manager? On complaining about the circumstances or on taking actions to achieve results?

I agree. See “Managing Project Resources” at https://www.steelray.com/blog/?p=125 – section entitled “Give Them Room to Vent.”
