Episode 168: Increase Your Financial IQ
This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story introduces, “Increase Your Financial IQ” presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading a short little book called Increase Your Financial IQ, by Robert Kiyosaki, the well known author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. I read this book to keep up with what some of today’s financial leaders like Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump are advocating. So what does this book have to do with project management and project management offices? Well, in addition to providing sound and timely financial insights, the author makes a number of points that are very applicable to those of us in the project management community. In particular three things stand out that make this book a good read.
The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo suggests, “Commit to your company, not just your career." Today, most people suggest that you should commit to yourself, not your company. After all, you might get outsourced or your company may go out of business. Sure, you should have a career and advance your career and self interests. But, you also must commit, truly commit, to the company, organization, or individual that pays your salary.
