Striking the Balance: The Power of Idealism and Healthy Scepticism in Project Management
Project management is a dynamic field that requires a delicate balance between optimism and pragmatism, I get that. While the pursuit of the ideal is a noble endeavour, it's essential to recognize that unrealistic idealism can lead to project failures.
Stay calm; project’s carry on - avoid Silent Burnout
What I discovered? I had what I’ve come to refer to as serious “silent burnout”. It’s a type of “quiet quitting”, but not quite. Quiet quitting started trending in 2022, and described a state of passionless working where you do the bare minimum. But even though “silent burnout” has some of the same elements as “quiet quitting”; you DON’T do the bare minimum - to the contrary, you go nuts and over-egg it like you’re afraid there will never be eggs again. Since I had to suffer through it, hopefully I can get #SilentBurnout trending!
