Raganwald: Still failing, still learning
Context One: For everyone!
Click over to Raganwald for a story of personal learning that Reginald Braithwaite recently shared with his readers:
Heads up: I will caution you to save this click for a time you have the opportunity to Read Short and Deep, giving his article the attention it deserves. I have yet to click into Raganwald without getting totally lost in his archives, and discovering I'm still there nearly an hour later, a page of notes having been taken in another open window on my laptop.
Context Two: For JJL LP2; Read, Learn, Live
For those of you participating in our Learn to Lead with Your Strengths project, you will easily imagine how this statement within the article got me to sit back in my chair and take pause, especially after I had read the comment that David Zinger had left for me here.
Within Still failing, still learning, Reg had written:
“Project management is a social problem.”
“Project management is a social problem. It is 99.5% about getting everyone who knows something about the state of the project to share what they know with everyone else. Getting all the relevant information is 99.5% of the problem, analyzing the information is 0.5% of the problem.”
—Reg Braithwaite
Okay (gulp) full transparency: Within the context of our own project here, spanning the last nine weeks, my first silent thought to myself was, I want that too David, but can we really pull it off?
