Thanks for reading my post and for sharing your perspective on this. I totally agree with you on this one. Finding YES is definitely the best mindset to have, as a project manager - I guess this is what I mentioned as well: being a solution seeker.<p>However, in order to protect "the Definite YES" (in getting things done, in securing resources, in clarifying the scope of the project before starting the work) from its less helping cousin ("the May Be YES"), I prefer to use "NO" to set up clear boundaries, especially when expectations of different stakeholders start to go wild.<p>Thanks again for sharing your views - great comments, much appreciated. Next week I will have a post dedicated to those areas of project management to which I pay careful attention when saying NO, in order to protect and encourage Finding YES.
