What has been said here is not "new" but it has been said well with relevant everyday experience. Good reminder to connect with our 101 skill sets.

I think creating a network and constantly watching over that network -- those who you work directly and indirectly with -- is critical to your career's success. Some may be current stakeholders and others may become stakeholders. I know as a previous project manager, my team members fluctuated based on the job and project. Keeping those relationships sharp was important regardless of whether they were current stakeholders. It takes a little bit of effort that pays off richly in the long-run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415640484205464808.post-14204388229823936152011-06-05T13:57:34.746+01:002011-06-05T13:57:34.746+01:00Great article Keith.

Currently I am not in a management role but aspire to someday get there. When it happens I want to make sure i set high expectations and build unbreakable bonds that extend beyond 8 hours on a weekday. The line I couldn't let go of is what I felt was the heart of this post:<br /><br />"Never be too busy to engage on a regular and meaningful basis with your true key stakeholders."Jermainehttp://www.asparkstarts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415640484205464808.post-22252340161434245092011-06-04T15:47:20.929+01:002011-06-04T15:47:20.929+01:00Hi Keith,

I particularly love the analogy of business to a "tired relationship". I had never thought of it that way.<br /><br />I used to oversee a staff of 125...and I made every effort to personally engage with all of them as often as possible. I used to say good morning every day to each person...It never occurred to me that it made such an impact until one particularly bad morning, I walked right to my office...and I had a few people come to me afterwards to call me out on it....they were exceptionally understanding...but I was amazed that they even called me out on it. That "good morning" every day opened up lines of communication that might otherwise have never existed.Boschiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355642176480265143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415640484205464808.post-72308787207882132452011-06-03T16:47:12.039+01:002011-06-03T16:47:12.039+01:00Hi Jim,
