August is a frustrating time
for project managers. 
Fall launch deadlines are fast approaching
and team members are either on vacation
or wishing they were on vacation. 

Oprah told BBC Newsnight about some of her
Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls
project issues. 

“I gave up the project for a time
because it was just so frustrating. 
I ended up continuing only
because they were going to put
my name on the school anyway…
If my name is going to be on it,
then I’m going to have some control
over what’s going to happen.” 

Problems are part of project management.
Even Oprah’s power and money can’t eliminate that.
