One Hundred Rules for NASA Project Managers – [Jerry Madden]
Okay, I’m printing those out. All this time, I’ve just followed one of the basic rules that I’ve learned about management: communication. If I communicate with the people who are involved in the project, I’ll know what to do because I know what’s happening along the way. Now, with these tips, I think that my management skills are going to improve. I hope that our output will improve as well. Thanks for the link, by the way!
