Thanks for a great article.
Like you, I ha...Gary,<br /><br />Thanks for a great article.<br /><br />Like you, I had older brothers who were sports mad (in their case it was soccer) while I didn't like playing sport at all. That changed when I was in my mid-20s<br /><br />I started watching American Football when it was first broadcast in the UK in the late 80s. This was at about that time that I started working in project management. I started playing the game in 1990 and it didn't take long before I could see the parallels between American Football and Project Management. I believe that I learned more about management on the football field that I did in the classroom, or on projects, particularly teamwork.<br /><br />To this day I still see the football season as a 16 week course in project management, with an optional extra module at the end called the playoffs.Bryan Barrowhttp://bryanbarrow.comnoreply@blogger.com
