This is my first job where I’m in a leading position, making a work that requires much more responsibilities that the previews jobs. As a Project Manager, I analyzed my activity and my attitude on my previews jobs and to be honest, I think I could have made much more. I realized that even if I had the chance to come with new ideas and new solutions for all kind of situations, in most cases, I considered that this is not my responsibility and that my job is just to follow orders from my superiors.

Now, I realized that I was wrong. Working with my team in the last 9 months, I learned how important the commitment of every team member is. I can say that a leader can’t “change he world” without the help, support and commitment of his team members.

Let’s try to be more involved in every day activities, let’s forget the words: “It’s not my responsibility, they have to do it” or “It can’t be done”.

Our society will never be better if we don’t get involved; I think it’s wrong waiting for someone to clean the garbage from behind the building where we live, just because this is not our responsibility or waiting for someone to plant some grass or some trees around the building where we live. There are many small things that can be done by us in order to improve our society, our life. I think that we have to be more involved in all the activities that we do every day, in our society.

All this things are reflected on our professional life too, and can affect the performance and the smooth running of things.

Getting back to our jobs, everything is possible; every project can be a real success if you get involved, if you support your team with all your heart and if you really want to.
