My spin on Stephen R. Covey’s great work “7 Patterns for Highly Effective People” with emphasis on application to Project Managers.
Covey’s Patterns for PMs:
- Take Ownership
- Plan Ahead and Be Flexible
- Identify Issues and Set Objectives
- Don’t Let Perfect be the Enemy of Good
- Consider the O.O.D.A Loop
- Develop the Team’s Operational Tempo
- Iteratively Design Yourself

- From Merriam-Webster:
- Effective: producing a decided, decisive, or desired effect
- Efficient: capable of producing desired results with little or no waste (as of time or materials)
- “A focus on disciplines, activities, technologies and resources that gives organizational leaders the mechanisms and controls they need to understand how to enable consistent and repeatable organizational change in response to changing patterns.” from Pattern-Based Approaches for Organizations’ Agility at https://www.igi-global.com/dictionary/operational-tempo/40065
- “You can think of the iterative design process as a continuous cycle of prototyping, testing, and making adjustments and refinements.” from What is Iterative Design? (and Why You Should Use It) at https://www.enginess.io/insights/what-is-iterative-design
