Authority
"And now let Pharaoh look for a man who is teachable and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt." (Gen 41:33)
The first point in Joseph's Project Plan was authority. Someone has to be the CEO. Authority is an absolute necessity for a successful project. Just as there is one head on the human body, there is one head of a project. He does not rule by power but by authority. There is a big difference. Authority without freedom is tyranny. Freedom without authority is anarchy. Authority provides freedom. There is no freedom without authority. For this reason selection of the Authority of a project is the first and foremost ingredient of a Project.
The head defines the vision, quality, and strategy for the project. These are all extremely important, but all of them relate to freedom. Joseph is a slave and he is standing before Pharaoh and telling him, "You better search through the available personnel and put someone in charge to handle this crisis." The first thing he mentions is authority. Isn't it odd that a slave who has repeatedly been the victim of abuse of power would be standing before Pharaoh and defending authority? Not at all. Joseph, after all his abuse, clearly understood the relationship between freedom and authority.
Selection of Project Manager is the single most important decision that determines the fate of the project. Most projects that fail do so due to the selection of project manager.
The Project Manger determines the fate of his employees...
