The challenge of strategizing a game plan with proper management tools rock you to sleep. You are not a regular person. You’re a project manager. And below are ten reasons why you are also a superhero.

Kimberly: I am fan of Steve Ditko's work (Spider-Man and Mr. A), so it was fun to read your post. I have been studying project management (international project coordinator) for two years, so I can relate to challenges. I recommend to read Critical Chain by Dr. Goldratt if you want to go get the super powers from a great fictional story on project management.

Hi Kimberly,

Reading from the title here in Bizsugar, I got a question in my mind, "Why Batman?". I got interested so I read it and I found it great. Those are Batman's attitude in Business huh? So I'll follow it. I want to be a super hero in business area even though I'm not a project manager yet. Hehe :-). Thanks form sharing.

Kimberly,

This is one hell of a motivating post. I love the Batman references. My brother is a big fan so I'm pretty sure he'll be in love with this post. Being a project manager is definitely one hell of a hard yet rewarding job!
