When Expectations Are High!

When you are fortunate to secure a growth budget in this economy managements expectations will be high and so will those of your business partners.  This is a great opportunity to show your company what IT can do when management supports strategic initiatives.  People will ask, do you feel the pressure! Of course you will, but what better time to demonstrate what you and your team can deliver.

The key is to stay focused on your top initiatives. Pursue them with energy and rigor.  Stay close to projects, issues, and staffing challenges.  Conduct regular project status meetings, know where things stand, and communicate with stakeholders and management. Transparency is key. Regular update meetings with project team members sends a message that you are committed to getting things done. 

Good luck, and learn to eat pressure for breakfast - because success will bring higher expectations.
