resistance


the daemon is
your genius                       lizard brain

the resistance is
afraid
                    daemon

we and our brains are
   to blame for us not
       being linchpins
                                  already




            http://www.flickr.com/photos/frostnova/
we’ve let ourselves get too
entrenched in the system...
              (status quo)


                              http://www.flickr.com/photos/wactout81
...but sometimes failure is just
      the rst step to success




                 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmsmytaste/90648278/
Bill Gates failed with
Traf-O-Data,
then created Microsoft
        global empire




                         http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/images/press/2006/06-15gates_lg.jpg
it’s not always possible to win from the rst time
so sorry guys if this presentation sucks...
ideas are cheap...
                     ... as long as you don’t
                               execute them

he is a linchpin...




                       http://www.moreforbrands.nl/2010/11/04/the-social-network/
I strive to be a
linchpin myself...
                     one day

...but can project managers
be linchpins?


                              http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearuk/564788081
YES THEY
  CAN

“        A project is a temporary endeavor,
         having a de ned beginning and end,
         undertaken to meet unique goals
         and objectives, usually to bring
         about bene cial change or added
         value. - @wikipedia

#5   Inspiring staff




                 Great! And I’m not
                 even their boss...

#7   Possessing unique talent




                         everyone has talent,
                         discovered or not...




                                                http://www.flickr.com/photos/teliko82/1413284133
#7   Possessing unique talent




“        Everybody is a genius.
         But, if you judge a sh by
         its ability to climb a tree,
         it will spend its whole life
         believing that it is stupid.
         - @einstein
