In a bustling, futuristic mega-city street stands an autonomous robotic statue resembling a 19th-century neoclassical hero, with an all-seeing gaze, reminding us of authoritative power and influence. Nu Jazz https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrxQKZRnAka3dliF7lp1-Ow Description In the heart of a mega city, amidst the bustle of 21st-century crowds, statues long forgotten stir to life. These once grand figures, now sleek, metallic sentinels, glide silently across the cityscape. Once symbols of history, they’ve become the guardians of a new age. Their mechanical limbs move harmoniously with the city’s rhythm, scanning, watching, and protecting. The past has been retooled for the present. No longer marble and bronze, they are now steel and circuit, a testament to the fusion of past grandeur with future innovation.

Purpose of this Blog
To encourage professional workers to recognize their small achievements, celebrate the small achievements, and share the small achievements across the work unit.
Project Management - the importance of celebrating small wins at work
Managing projects can be a complex process involving time, risk, and priority management. Managing multiple projects that involves working with a multitude of clients and within a hierarchy of positions, over distance, and involves "wicked problems" requires strong hard and soft management skills. Soft management is more difficult to identify and yet it has a significant impact on the success of a project. This blog discusses soft management skills. It focusses on enabling achievement recognition to benefit the individual and the work unit.
Recognizing achievements and failures affect the personal attachment to the project and in general the potential successful outcomes. Most importantly it affects the disposition of the business unit. Failures have the biggest influence and recognizing successes is harder to recognize. Interested 3rd parties within the unit can quickly identify failures even if they are hearsay. As the failure predisposition is persuasive it is important to construct a disciplined process that identifies the achievement of tasks and celebrates achievements gained.
The Hard
The hard is well documented and can be managed through sequential and complex project management processes. The hard is important as it is the common path to maintain relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency.
A Project brief identifies the purpose, objectives, completion measurements, risks, and timelines.
A Project plan assists the manager in identifying each component (variable) and engages a method of attack. Project-based applications need to be employed to assist in managing the complexities and enabling the project to be completed within predicted time and budget. (All things considered and planned for)
Project iterations realigns the project as unknowns are identified and key component alter.
The Soft
The Hard doesn't account for what Dr. Teresa Amabile calls Inner Work-life. Her thesis is that Inner Work-life influences the outcomes of professionals in their efforts to be successful.
Inner Work-life = Perceptions, Emotions, and Motivations.
The inner working life affects the outcomes of a project as it influences the individual mindset and transmits influence onto the culture of the work unit. A work unit is largely a construct of people. Each person has an inner work-life is and each inner work-life influences each other inner work-life. A work unit's success is heavily influenced by the interaction of each inner work-life. Dr. Amabile's research identifies companies who have failed due to the inner work-life of the workers.
The Soft - working units
Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions (Principles of connectivism WikiPedia). A working unit is as strong as the connections occurring within. To achieve a strong working team the following soft needs need to be committed to;
an understanding of the teams worth.
a sense of active contribution to the development and well-being of the team.
a sense of improved collective competence.
individual willingness to develop interpersonal support.
a willingness to collectively share and celebrate success.
The Progress Principal video
Is based on how workers make sense of their workday. If the person's inner work-life is positive they perform better. Dr. Amabile states the making progress is the biggest influence on an inner work-life.
Small wins influencePositive inner work-life influences better performance
28% of small things had a strong impact on peoples work-lives
Negative small things (setbacks): are stronger than positives (2 to 3 times stronger). Negative small things effects on the inner work-life can last up to 2 days
It is important that positive wins are celebrated to counter the significant effect setbacks inflict on the individual and ultimately the team.

Key Points
To harness small wins individual workers need to;
focus (30min on what is meaningful to the worker's self-worth and what is important for the organisation)
and keep track of small wins.
Managers can assist through;
providing catalysts - goals, and importance of work to the unit.
supporting autonomy - how to meet the goals
enabling resources - to get the work done - help and access
and providing human support - respect and value

Our Pagan of Progress Our Protector Story: She stands upon the city's precipice; the unyielding light of progress illuminates her figure. The steel and glass towers rise around her like the skeletons of a forgotten forest, a testament to the relentless forward march of time. Beneath her feet, the streets pulse with life—a river of humanity flowing endlessly, each soul rushing toward a future we do not yet understand. She, the Pagan of Progress, alone understood the intricate dance of forces at play. Her form is ancient and new, shaped by forces that neither men nor women could comprehend. There is power in her, a quiet, unspoken strength that lingers in the fabric of her being, woven with the threads of time itself. Her gown, gleaming with the city's light, is adorned with intricate patterns—branches, circuitry, roots entwined with wire—symbols of a world caught between what once was and what could be. She does not belong here, not entirely. Yet she is bound to this place, th
