Navigating Obstacles and Overcoming Challenges

Resilience is an often used term these days.
I believe resilience also plays an important role in project management.
Most projects are not a short distance run, but more like a marathon where you are constantly running into obstacles, trying to solve other people’s problems. 

As a project manager you will be subject to a lot of criticism, both legitimate and illegitimate, and you will have to overcome many obstacles along the way.
Let’s be honest, anyone who has ever managed a project knows how tired you can get during a project and if you are not careful you will end up burnt out.
Those who do not build their own way of developing resilience as project managers will suffer long-term and unhealed scars in this profession.
What can help you develop resilience is developing self-awareness. Understanding the situations that cause you stress and frustration and how best to avoid or resolve them.
It can help to accept that you will make mistakes in complex projects and that this is natural and that you should not be afraid to make mistakes.
Ultimately, it can help to understand that no matter how important a project is, it’s just a job and it’s always up to you and your individual choice how much stress you allow from your project life into your personal life.
