Your career is one of the most important projects in your life, yet many people don’t think of it that way. However, when you apply a project management mindset and project management strategies to your career, you’ll achieve much more!
Some decisions can only be made by leaders. But they’re often slow to make them and sometimes, they don’t make a decision at all! This makes it hard (and sometimes impossible!) to do your job. Here are some strategies to consider when your leaders just won’t make a decision.

It’s no surprise then that I recommend that everyone keep a work journal.
