I just saw this article on PM Boulevard:
Title: Communicating Effectively for a Successful Project
Sub-title (or category): Human Capital
Here’s what I think:
Step 1 – stop calling people human capital.
It leads to all sorts of awkward sentences like, “My human capital is angry.” and “Can I have some more human capital please?”
If you ever find yourself thinking, “I am the manager – you are my resources.” – stop it now! So much behavior (good or bad) starts with our own mental models. It’s not “I” and “you”, it’s “we”. And it has to be genuine. People can tell if you’re faking it.
