There is nothing new in the way of the project manager. It is simple and easy to understand as it goes back to basic principles. Poor project managers do not understand this approach; perhaps it is too simple and basic to attract their attention. They prefer something more radical and innovative, as that is what gets them noticed.
The Way
The wise project manager stays with the single principle of how everything happens and does nothing new or original. But paradoxically the wise project manager appeals to very few followers, just to those who recognise that traditional wisdom is a treasure, which can often lay hidden beneath a very ordinary appearance. The wise project manager keeps things simple and easy to understand and cherishes the way.
My words are very easy to understand,
Very easy to act on.
Yet in the world no man understands,
Or acts on them.
My words have ancient beginnings.
My deeds are noble.
As men do not understand,
Thus I am not understood.
He that understands me is rare,
In that way I am honoured.
Thus the sage wears coarse clothing,
And cherishes the jewel in his heart.
