Original Advice
“DONT: Don't make pride the project manager.”
Fire Pride. Hire Progress.
Your pride is running the meeting, hoarding the mic, stalling the agenda. It tells you to overthink instead of act, to polish instead of ship. You say “I’ll wait” when you mean “I’m scared to be seen trying.” You call it standards. It’s costume. You’re protecting an image while opportunities expire. Decision by decision, your crown becomes a paperweight. Stop letting appearances set deadlines.
Project managers prioritize deliverables. Pride prioritizes optics. It inflates scope to look grand, rejects timelines that risk humility, and punishes curiosity with silence. It turns simple tasks into epics so no one sees you wobble. It fears iteration, so it chooses paralysis. This is why you spiral: control without progress. Replace pride with process. Ship small. Ask stupid questions. Let data embarrass you into motion.
Cosmic Context
You run on solar drama and fixed fire. Your gift is radiance, not rigidity; when you lead with heart instead of armor, people follow and the work moves.
