Merlin Mann On Project Management

(Courtesy of Jeffrey Veen)

I remember telling a friend that being
a project manager is a little like being a bouncer:

where there’s a problem *here*
and a door *there*

and it’s your job to get the problem out the door.

So!

For some a gentle gesture will do while
others need a push  

and still others need to be picked up by their pants and carried.

But!

In no case should you ever let someone get *further* from the door.

So that’s me.
