HE HAS BEEN GOING AROUND HUGGING OUR TEAM MEMBERS EVER SINCE HE STEPPED INTO THE OFFICE.

Team member: HEY DEV, WHAT'S WITH THE SUPERMAN CAPE?

Dev: OUR BOSS THINKS THAT AS A PROJECT MANAGER I HAVE THE POWERS TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT WITHIN TIME AND BUDGET AND ALSO...

...DELEVER THE EXPECTED BENEFITS. AND ALL THIS WHEN THE PROJECT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES. SO I AM TRYING TO FAKE IT TILL I CAN MAKE IT!

Strategic Alignment of Project portfolio

Maya(Thinking): JUST 5 MORE MINUTES FOR MY OFFICE MEETING TO END AND I CAN ATTEND MY KID'S PTA MEETING.

Boss: I JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR THE TEAM BEFORE WE WRAP THE CALL. I WILL TAKE 15 MORE MINUTES SO, MAYA...

Maya: ARRGGHHH!!

As leaders, project managers should allow flexibility in how team members get the job done. It's a matter of giving a choice and empowerment to employees to manage their own time
