My question is not even close to anything Technical... rather its more towards Psychology !
Well, a Planner’s job , as many would agree is not an easy task. Many times its termed as a ’thankless job’. If the work is completed on time, the Project manager gets the credit.... but if project fails its ALWAYS due to ’poor planning’ !
While persistant negative criticism from somebody higher up in your organization(at times inevitable) on the quality of your work is enough to demotivate many of us.... I am sure everybody behaves differently when under pressure, while concentrating on work, while trying to convince someone or while getting insulted !
My question is which are the qualities of a Good Planner as far as the mental attitude is concerned. What category of people will DEFINATELY be good planners... What essential habbits should Planners have & what habbits should Planners refrain from ?
Any comments ?
