      I used to be a project hero until I realised that well run projects don't need heroes.

      So that's how I run my projects (or my part of the project) these days.

          Nah. That was a freebie from his Wedding Photographer's Preview Folder.

          You should have seen the ones that didn't make it in!!

              Bit of a hypocritical thread title isn't it though?

              Oh, sorry, he said *worker*.

                I've learnt not to try and be the project hero by burning my fingers a few times.
                My foremost responsibility is to maximise profit for MyLtd. Co. and to that end, I stick to my deliverables precisely.
                However, I do occasionally make a show of (this has to be well timed) going over and beyond but that is only as a marketing tactic for the expertise MyLtd. Co. has to offer rather than any desire to be the project hero.

                    Bingo, I am the same.

                    But with that I do feel like a spectator to untrained wannabe pioneers on a continuous insistence of re-inventing the wheel and self-congratulations can be patronising at time too
