A great deal of what is published and taught
about project management is about the tools. mechanics and methodologies.
While these are essential mandatory skills mastering them does
make someone a "Master" project manager, it qualifies them as a
"run of the mill" project manager. Project managers who continue
to repeat these skills over and over will not progress because
to progress you must do something different to achieve different
results.
Evolving to the next level requires
understanding of how to apply the skills, mechanics and
methodologies
to each project, because every project is unique. You can
teach someone about colour theory and brush techniques but that
does not mean they can paint a masterpiece.
There is no
analytical formula for teaching the evolution process, it is an
organic metamorphosis. People who achieve the metamorphosis
become "organic project managers" people who can't progress will
remain "inorganic project managers". So what's the difference?
