How much time do you spend dealing with issues? How much are you driven by your Inbox, your Issue Log, or whatever you are supposed to react to?

One warning light for most experienced auditors and consultants is if there is too much time being absorbed by reacting to events, rather than being proactive and heading off situations and relationships before they become a problem.

Easier said than done? Sure. But part of the personal challenge of developing as a project manager is to make this shift in focus and be ruthless about it. It can mean moving out of our comfort zone.

And yes, the Issue Log and meetings around it, can become a dangerously comfortable pattern of management for all of us.

So how much time do you spend in dealing with issues? Resolve to reduce it by a shift to more positive action.
