Certifications are valuable…but leadership is the ultimate!

Certifications add to your hard skills and cover the whole a breadth of knowledge in the space. They also provide you with a resume boost. But there is another side to the coin – .

The distinction between the hard skills of management and the soft skill of leadership was clearly stated by management guru Peter Drucker. He said that “management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”

As a Project Manager, technical or hard skills are important…but ultimately the most important thing is leadership. It’s less tangible, but it has a higher impact, and many people push it to the side because they feel most comfortable with the tangible.

When you embrace the idea that 80% of the results comes from 20% of the effort, you can begin to shift your focus and also convince others to change theirs. In short, you demonstrate leadership.

So how do you take that knowledge and build your leadership skills? It takes deliberate effort, applied and internalized on a consistent basis. But there are short cuts…because 80% of the results you get will surely come from 20% of your efforts!

Leadership and 80:20 thinking go hand in hand.
