Action is eloquence.

— Shakespeare, Coriolanus

Vicious, despicable, or thoroughly disliked persons, gentlemen, and ladies can be project managers. Lost souls, procrastinators, and wishy-washies cannot.

— Jerry Madden, “One Hundred Rules for NASA Project Managers”

You can have a lot of bad qualities and still be an effective project manager, but you can’t be indecisive. Work out your personal insecurities on your own time.

Make a decision. Move on to the next problem.

Thus spoke The Programmer.
