This document describes different types of relationships people can have in a project based on two factors: agreement and trust. It outlines four quadrants: frenemies (agree but don't trust), allies (agree and trust), adversaries (don't agree and don't trust), and opponents (don't agree but trust). Frenemies may provide misleading information while smiling, allies can be trusted with confidential conversations, adversaries will actively try to undermine the project, and opponents respectfully argue different perspectives. The document advises assessing relationships and watching out for misreading the situation.

Halogen nyld kuik_shiao-yin
Ms Kuik Shiao-Yin shares at Halogen Foundation Singapore's National Young Leaders' Day 2011. You are the main character. What will your life story be like? Would you pay to watch your own movie? It can be bigger and better - do what you love and want to see more of in this world.

This document outlines 7 reasons why people fail: 1) Lack of persistence - most people quit when facing problems instead of continuing to persist and resist giving up. 2) Lack of conviction - people without strong beliefs take the middle ground and risk "getting run over" instead of taking a stand. 3) Rationalizing - losers make excuses for their failures instead of analyzing what went wrong and learning from mistakes. 4) Not learning from past mistakes - some people do not learn lessons from failures and history and are doomed to repeat them. 5) Lack of discipline - accomplishing anything worthwhile requires self-control and sacrifice to stay focused. 6) Poor self-esteem - having low self-worth can lead to idleness
Trailer story board

It provides an example of a manager, Max, who established a program management group to address immediate needs from the bottom-up while still aligning with larger strategic visions. This helped boost morale by quickly implementing small beneficial changes. The document advocates regularly engaging stakeholders at all levels to gain support for both small and large-scale programs and changes.
Change - March 2011 DD
The document discusses the need for organizations to change their approach to change management by focusing on the individual. It argues that viewing change as something that is started and finished is outdated and that organizations instead need to help individuals be ready to continuously adapt and evolve. Rather than punishing noncompliance, the most effective strategies make change about supporting each person's needs and helping them through the process of change with an individualized plan. This focus on the individual is described as key to facilitating real organizational evolution.

Diane Dromgold - 2011 AGMS paper
The document discusses challenges facing project management with Generations Y and Z, and proposes an approach to address credibility issues. Specifically:
1. Project management lacks credibility due to a focus on administrative tasks over driving outcomes.
2. An opportunity exists to leverage Generations Y and Z, who demand constant feedback and want their work to matter.
3. The proposed approach centers project plans around individuals rather than tasks, making clear what each person must do and when, to improve accountability and outcomes.
NASA 2008 PM Challenge
The document discusses Diane Dromgold's career in project management over the past 30 years. It describes how she got into the field in the 1980s without formal training and experienced both project successes and failures. It notes how the field of project management has increasingly focused on processes and procedures over the past few decades, which some argue has led to lower success rates. Dromgold advocates returning to first principles of focusing on achieving outcomes and enabling people, rather than overly relying on tools and reports.

- 1. Who’s who in and around your project peoplescape
- 2. Assessing the people landscape Frenemies Allies Trust Agreement Opponents Adversaries Low High Low High
- 3. The quadrants explained – other people Frenemies These people agree with you but don’t trust you. They will most likely keep information from you; be happy to have a drink with you; smile at your face while putting the knife in your back. They will sell you out to get what they want. Allies They trust you and are in agreement with you. You’ll be able to have confidential conversations and they’ll have your back. (if they don’t you have misread the situation. Adversaries These people will be out to get you. They don’t like you, don’t trust you and wouldn’t agree with you that the sky was blue. Look out for hostility; passive aggression and undermining behaviour. When you go on leave they will try and get you removed. Opponents Everyone enjoys a worthy opponent. Usually working towards a different agenda but respect you and trust you. Open about agenda and will argue their case – and live with the outcome.
- 4. The quadrants explained – you Frenemies If someone is your frenemy you will agree with what they are looking to achieve but not trust their motives and approach. You will (consider) undermining them and know that you’d be better off if they weren’t there. Watch out for misreading these guys as either opponents or allies. Allies You trust these guys. You’re on the same page and you’ll give them references easily and happily. Can , and do, take them into your confidence. Very depressing when you misread this one. Adversaries You know and they know that it’s war. You might try to dress it up to get along but you’ll be thinking of the world being a better place if you didn’t have to deal with them. These are the people you will speak fairly frankly about others to in an attempt to move them on. Opponents Ah, you’ll probably secretly admire these guys and think that if you ever need a really good person you’d call on them. You’ll probably find yourself smiling (after you get over it) when they win a round.
