We must have all seen the T.V show "The Apprentice" and for those of you who don't inhabit the business or industrial world your probably wondering how representative it is.
In reality the vast majority of people in the "real world" are infinitely more courteous, friendly and professional than their counterparts on T.V.
Sure, we all have disagreements with our colleagues but generally these are resolved amicably & without hysterics - boring I know - but that's reality for you.
I sometimes wonder whether "The Apprentice" encourages more kids into business than it puts off, it has at least made the term "Project Manager" more commonly known but has done little to illustrate what a Project Manager actually does.
Project Management covers a huge span of knowledge through finance, business cases, project planning, man management, team motivation, time management, negotiation skills, etc etc and I will be covering different aspects of these in this space.
I'm looking forward to the next series of "The Apprentice" - it's great entertainment - and, lets face it, there are occasions when it would be great to point the finger and say ".....your fired !!!"
