The document outlines seven habits of highly ineffective project managers: poor communication, micro-managing, focusing on tasks rather than relationships, working hard rather than smart, being fault-intolerant, focusing too much on technical issues rather than overall objectives, and being too agreeable rather than sticking to the project goals. It provides examples of how each habit can negatively impact a project.
We could possibly all think about projects which have “failed” – probably process got worse instead of better, perhaps they were terminated due to cost overruns, or maybe techniques were released with essential mistakes.

Why Projects Fail + Four Steps to SucceedKevin Wordon
Understand why digital and IT projects fail and discover four simple project management tips to succeed.
Topics covered:
- Agile Decision Making
- The OODA Loop
- Clear Direction & Common Goals
- Defining Requirements
- Forming Your Project Team
Project Management is a strategic competency of organizations that involve the application of knowledge, skills, and techniques to align project objectives with business goals, enabling companies to better compete in their respective market: https://www.orangescrum.com/
Studies show that many projects either fail outright or fail to meet most of their objectives. There are a myriad of possible reasons why this might be the case. Very often, organizations go looking for a culprit and sometimes blame the project manager or even the very concept of project management itself. Sometimes they decide to “fix” the problem by getting all the project managers certified. Or they decide to standardize on a certain tool. And while certification and standardization are laudable things, they do not necessarily address the central problem or problems. This presentation will discuss the top ten reasons why projects fail and briefly discuss solutions to each problem. We will see how such areas as estimates, scope and “the accidental project manager” contribute to the problem.

Solution
A project manager is the person responsible for leading a project from its inception to execution.
This includes planning, execution and managing the people, resources and scope of the project.
Project managers must have the discipline to create clear and attainable objectives and to see
them through to successful completion. The project manager has full responsibility and authority
to complete the assigned project.
Following are the advantages and disadvantages of being Project Manager :
Advantages :
Project co-ordination : A good project manager always been proven good co-ordinator between
Project Implementation and Organaisation objective. he always initiate his good effort to
Implement project the project and he gives his reguler update on project movement
Skill Improvement : Project involve good amount skill & techiniques to undertake. multiple
operations like team management, project design, quality check, production check, planning,
feedback and so on involve in Implementing a project, this enhance the skill of project manager.
Goodwill : Project manager always earn goodwill in organisation, althought he is not on too top
level, but he plays a vital role in project playing, in return of that he get good word from top
management and people in the organisation
Motivation : Successful and good implmentation of project, enahnce Project manager\'s
motivation. which in turn improve his efficiency toward the new project which is most important
to acheive organisation objective
There are few disavantages as well when you designated as Project Manager
High expectation from top management : it always been said that, more the project manager
is/are efficient, more the pressure from top management suppose to be place on him. This affect
the confidence and motivation power of project manager due high stress of work.
Lack of skilled staff : Lack of skilled staff may leads to Incompletion of project or incorrect
execution of project, which affect the organisation as well as skillset of good project manager
Timeframe for project : This is the another factor which push Project manager roles into the
cons. Due lack of sufficient time project manager may not able to complete his project on time or
some time implement the project incorrectly, which in turn create more disatisfaction to project
manager.
Lack of flexibility : Some organisation doesn\'t provide flexibility on Project management role,
they some tim.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The 7 habits of highly ineffective project managers
1. The Seven Habits of Highly
Ineffective Project Managers
Out of the Box
Oct 2015 CGST Learning Org.
Johnny Wong
2. While it borders on over-generalization incompetent
project managers do demonstrate a consistent set of
behavior and similar management style. Below is a list
of common mistakes a project manager can make
3. Poor Communicator
• The first and foremost incompetence of ineffective
project managers is their inability to communicate.
• They have a tendency to over-emphasize technical
matters, and are used to their old working habits as
engineers or technocrats.
• One PM, when managing a sizable software project,
seldom spoke to the customers except during
scheduled progress meetings, because they were
‘unreasonable’. He didn’t enjoy talking to his team
either because they were ‘sometimes too dumb’. By
doing so he had put himself in a precarious position
of adding another entry to his failed project list.
4. Micro-managing
• While most business schools nowadays teach
managers not to manage but to lead, incompetent
project managers still cling to micro-managing.
• They will check on every minor detail, worry about
every task, and pry into the daily schedule of team
members.
• They want full control. Yet by micro-managing they
de-motivate the team, overload themselves, lose
sight of the big picture, and eventually cede control
to destiny.
5. Tasks Manager not Relationship Manager
• This is a common mistake for those who believe in the old schools of
project management.
• They focus on managing every task down to the lowest level,
thinking that as long as the team produces every agreed deliverable
on time and within budget, the customers are bound to be happy.
• Research after research, however, reveals the growing importance of
stakeholder relationship management.
• It’s absolutely essential for a project manager to build up solid
relationship with customers, vendors, project team, and other
stakeholders.
• Through managing their expectation, a relationship-oriented project
manager will ensure customer satisfaction and project success.
6. Working Hard not Smart
• Asians tend to work long hours as Confucianism sees diligence as a
virtue. Taken to the extreme managers in Japan, Korea and Hong
Kong spend 16 hours a day working and feeling proud of it.
• Incompetent project managers think working hard can make up for
their ineffective leadership style, lack of planning, and inept
problem solving skills.
• They think their bosses and clients want to see them working hard,
and expect their subordinates to work even harder. Yet in projects it
is result that counts.
• To deliver results the team does need to work extensive hours
under stress for certain spells of the project. Regular overtime is
however a disservice and a symptom of project failure.
• Good project managers with high success rate always devote
sufficient time to planning, resolve problems in a timely manner,
stay alert to risks, and negotiate adequate resources.
7. ‘Fault-Intolerant’
• Good leaders always give credit to the team when it is due, and take on
blame on behalf of the team.
• They are willing to take calculated risk and encourage their team to do
so.
• They take minor setbacks positively and learn from mistakes.
• They provide constructive criticism privately rather than making
personal attacks.
• Incompetent project managers cannot tolerate the slightest faults and
point fingers to everyone else except themselves.
• They are ‘fault-intolerant’. They don’t have the same problem with
credit though, and won’t hesitate to heap on themselves praises that
don’t belong to them.
8. Technically Focused
• Some project managers cannot overcome the
temptation to go back to their root as a techie.
• They would jump right into any technical issues, even
though their role is to ensure overall project objectives
are to be met.
• Instead of focusing on planning communications to
stakeholders about possible schedule delay, seeking
alternatives and workarounds, or acquiring additional
resources, they would rather spend time on resolving
the technical issues, sometimes taking over from the
real technical experts.
9. Mr. Nice Guy
• While there are merits with being nice, a good project manager has to be firm and
committed to the agreed project objectives, i.e. on time, within budget, and 100%
scope.
• Mr. Nice Guy tends to accept change requests from customers (e.g. new requirements)
or senior management (e.g. less manpower) without even trying to negotiate.
• Their rationale – To maintain good relationship with every project stakeholder.
However, genuine relationship cannot be built by yielding your position too easily
without sufficient debates based on reasoning.
• Contrary to Mr. Nice Guy’s belief, a competent project manager can earn the trust and
respect of customers, senior executives, and team members by sticking to what she
believes to be right for the project.
10.
11. System and Structure
• A system is a set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated
whole
– A system has structure, it contains parts (or components) that are directly or
indirectly related to each other;
– A system has behavior, it exhibits processes that fulfill its function or purpose;
– A system has interconnectivity: the parts and processes are connected by
structural and/or behavioral relationships.
• A structure may be a hierarchy (a cascade of one-to-many relationships), a network
featuring many-to-many links, or a lattice featuring connections between
components that are neighbors in space.
