Our latest article is actually a set of 2 articles on leadership. Both

book that sparked "The Secret" phenomenon! In his 20 years of
interviewing the most successful men and women in America, Hill
determined the attributes that he believed most contributed to the
success or failure of a leader

and relate them to leadership and project management success in the

Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons

Back in the 1920's, Robert L. Taylor, former Governor of Tennessee,
commissioned Napoleon Hill to write "success stories" about famous men
for his magazine. Hill's first assignment was to interview one of the
richest men in the world, the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.

Carnegie had embraced the thought that with a little bit of endeavour
even the common man could easily unlock the key to the secret of
personal success - he considered that achieving personal success was
quite simple and required primarily loads of common sense. During the
interview with Napoleon Hill, Carnegie was so impressed by his hard
work and commitment that he gave him an assignment - Napoleon was asked
to interview 500 of America's rich and famous people and find out what
was it about their personality that made them successful.

Carnegie armed Napoleon with his personal letters of introduction to
these rich and famous people. What followed was 20 years of
interviewing successful men and women including Henry Ford, Thomas A
Edison, John D Rockefeller, William Wrigley, William Taft, F W
Woolworth, John Burroughs and Dr Alexander Graham Bell, but it was
these interviews and their analyses that changed the way Napoleon
looked at life. Both he and Carnegie referred to the interviews'
results as the "Philosophy of Achievement", and both men were of the
opinion that even the common man, if he knew what it was about
personality that made men successful, could easily find success on his
own strength, and by tweaking and fine-tuning his personality.

Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons In the year 1928, the critical
information from the "Philosophy of Achievement" was distilled into an
epic masterpiece entitled "The Law of Success". The book was a huge
success. Napoleon Hill designed and created The Law of Success as a
study program consisting of 16 lessons. It wasn't designed to just be
read -- like a book. It was meant to be studied and acted on -- like a
course -- a course in success.

The Law of Success course is basically a how-to manual of the skills
and qualities required to become successful in whatever field one
works. It is particularly relevant for those who achieve their success
through the work of others.

The Art of War

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is well known as one of the most respected
military strategies in the world. However, Sun Tzu also had a lot to
say about effective leadership, team building, decision making and
overall management skills. And what he says is as relevant today for
Project Managers as it was then for Generals.

For example, Sun Tzu gives us sage advice on how we, as Project
Managers, can fail our teams.

"There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
1. Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
2. cowardice, which leads to capture;
3. a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
4. a delicacy of honour which is sensitive to shame;
5. over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and
trouble"

The Art of War

We can see that these flaws which could be found in Sun Tzu's Generals
is alive in many people today. A reckless Project Manager does not heed
warning signs of impending trouble on a project, or proceeds with risky
development methods without due consideration (or approval). A coward
is one who makes decisions based on what people want, rather than on
what needs to be done for the project.

Only a poor Project Manager would allow their emotions or anger to boil
over in a workplace, and thereby damage relationships needed to keep
the project on an even keel. And a too sensitive Project Manager may
avoid making decisions or counseling staff for poor performance, for
fear of embarassing themselves or others.

Much of what Sun Tzu says is relevant to us today as Project Managers.
Suffice to say, the basics of leadership and management haven't changed
much over the millenia!

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
