Putting The Project First

I’m winding down a system implementation.
Although the client is very happy,
I refuse to take any credit.
My response is
‘I’m simply an extra pair of hands.
??? led the project.’

Why?

Because in order for
the system implementation
to continue its success,
it can’t be viewed as ‘my’ project.
It has to be owned by
a member of the executive team.

If that executive gets the credit
for this successful launch,
he will continue
to nurture the project.

If you are a project manager,
the project,
not your ego,
comes first.
