La gestión de programas es más compleja que nunca. ¿Cómo puedes desarrollar la resiliencia para manejarlo?

The reality is, as a program manager, resilience isn't just about managing projects—it's also about managing your own well-being. It's crucial to balance the demands of work with self-care, ensuring you have enough sleep, exercise, and relaxation to prevent burnout. Eating healthy, getting some exercise, visiting the doctor as needed -- all of these and more help build the foundations for the resilience a program manager needs to be effective. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential for long-term success.

Change is the only constant, we all know this very well. Embracing change and being resilient will empower us and our people to deliver results. To change the way we work, we need to implement new ways of working, which could be Agile or hybrid. Each one in the team should be encouraged to bring new ideas to table and see it's feasibility in implementing. People should provide feedback and the feedback should be documented and implemented if feasible.

Resilience? It's like having a sturdy ship sailing through rough waters. And guess what? Your crew makes all the difference! As a seasoned program manager, you're not just steering the ship; you're also building trusty bonds with your team, stakeholders, sponsors, and fellow program managers. In today's tech-centric world, where screens often replace face-to-face interactions, fostering genuine connections is more vital than ever. So, let's keep those lines of communication open, lend an ear, and collaborate like never before. Because when we build relationships, we're not just weathering storms; we're sailing toward success together.
