4 Ways Busy People Sabotage Themselves

When we’re chronically busy and stressed, we can fall into self-sabotaging behaviors. Four common traps are, first, to keep ploughing away when she should take a step back and prioritize.

The Rise of the Chief Project Officer
The Rise of the Chief Project Officer
Thirty years ago 80% of the resources in an organization were dedicated to operations, and 20% to projects; today, that ratio has flipped. Despite this massive disruption, most organizations still dont have one senior leader overseeing or supervising all the project activities. A chief project officer (CPO) should fill that void. The role goes far beyond the direct sponsorship of individual projects. The CPO reports directly to the CEO. They must push their organization toward adopting a project-driven structure and foster a collaborative and empowering culture that reaches across silos. They must also ensure that project-management competencies are developed throughout the organization. This article will explore the benefits a CPO can bring, how to understand whether your organization needs a CPO, and how to hire one.
