ABSTRACT

Why are project managers not growing into C-level management positions?  The reasons may be many, including the lack of financial, marketing, or specific technical skills that may prove a project manager unworthy of C-level positions. However, a more salient reason is their unwillingness to get out of their comfort zone of schedules, tools, and templates.1 You must be courageous to be a service-based project leader. Courage carries a price but offers a meaningful return.
