Post: My project manager experiment failed

I've worked as PM (Project Manager) for 15 years with avg project sizes of $6M and my largest at $120M.  I usually had 4-5 projects across the country at a time...unless it was a large project going.

All PM's are not the same.  The difference is some are proactive and others are reactive in their approach.  It's the big difference.  Motivation pushes them one direction or the other.  Motivation comes from leadership.

What I learned, however, is that some companies invest into systems and environments that make their PMs succeed no matter what their personal abilities are.  Other companies solely depend on the PMs competence alone.  I disagree with the latter.  You can't put your business plan on the shoulders of a PM alone.  You have to build a system around that individual to succeed and turn a lot of projects.  If that person fails, the project fails...that shouldn't be the case.

To be honest, having worked in that field to the highest level, the failure of the PM speaks more to your systems than it does to their competence.

 Ali, what are your goals? That will determine who will be the right mentor and which group to join.  I live in Minneapolis and know a ton of groups.  It all depends on what your goals are.

Hey everyone, glad to be here. Interested in networking as an investor and Realtor from Minnesota. My goal is to acquire 100 units CF $500/ea within the next 5 years. I have 2 units (duplex) now and acquiring more using a BRRR type strategy. I'm also a licensed real estate agent in Minneapolis area so willing to help anyone in my area looking for great investment property.
