Project management Discipline
Without discipline nothing can be achieved or specific goals can be attained. Project Management requires that discipline in planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling the project resources.
Any project has a start date and an end date. This endeavor can be a smooth or risky path faces obstacles, constraints here and there. But with all of these challenges this endeavor should produce a unique product, service or result.
The main elements of the project management are planning and controlling the resources to direct these resources to achieve specific goals and a unique product. As you move forward with the project plan meeting each mile stone of the project life cycle, constraints may rise during the phases of the project causing the project direction deviates from the original plan and staggering off its track. Some of the project constraints can be funding, resources, stakeholders or shareholders management.
From my experience managing the shareholders or stakeholders are the focus issues of a successful project management. Here where I have emphasize my concerns and state the issue of Management Conflicts of small medium businesses particularity family businesses. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all the project goals and satisfy all the shareholders’ interests when you have experience management conflicts from the start of the project.
From my experience I have faced so many issues that hold up, deviate and make a project failure when you have management family stretching the project time and milestones, human resources demotivation, efforts waste and more could have jeopardize the whole project and stall it for good!.

we need to focus on different conversations. I think it was Margaret Wheatley who said – “to change a conversation all you have to add new people.” So, the first step to a new conversation about education is to add new people. And,as my daughter taught me,to reinvision education we must reinvision who we (humans) really are and how we want to BE together.

“If we think that everything can be fine again just as it was – then what we need to do is just fix or repair existing systems, fix public education systems, fix health care systems. What that implies is that these systems are basically okay. By that I mean, their basic assumptions, their ways of operation, their beliefs about people –all of those assumptions are fine and its just our task to repair them.
