SubscribeWhy Does People Want to Be as White as Snow?
I went to the hyper mart this afternoon and over the beauty and personal hygiene section I saw so many products which promise to help you become white—whitening cream, soap, astringent, etc. Except for the new branding of Dove, almost every product simply wants you to become white as snow.

Business perspective
Similar to businesses, project managers should first look into the people resources they have, assess their skills and interests, and use their strengths to help boost the project.

Do not set your people to fail. Find out their strengths and use them as leverage to help your team win and win big.
