A long time ago on a contract far, far away, our PMO (Project Management Organization) lead took us to task. You are all focusing too much on what is wrong here.

On Monday night, June 30, 2008, a bright light departed. John was my buddy. He was one of my closest friends, and probably among the best friends of many people who knew him.

Transitioning relationships from work into other parts of our lives requires a little work – but can happen. It won’t happen automatically. Saying Goodbye to Colleagues: The Great Cube Cleanout continues to touch a chord with people as evidenced by comments and email messages.

When someone resigns, there are inevitable questions. We want to know why. We want to know how it will impact us. Some questions we ask. Today’s my last day on-site with a valued client.

It’s happened to you, to me, to all of us. It’s your first day at a new job. How often have you been given the royal treatment? While it’s fine to be simply given a desk and shown the coffee machine and rest room, the best project managers and team leads will go a few steps further to show you that you are valued and welcomed.
