#PMOT – Who are the Project Managers on Twitter to Follow?
#PMOT is the Twitter hashtag used by Project Managers on Twitter.

Project Manager or Project Leader? What’s the Difference?
Are you a Project Manager or a Project Leader? And how would you be able to tell the difference?
This is an important question that can easily get bogged down in academic niceties and philosophic distinctions. But the fact is that we all kind of recognize the difference when we experience it.
One way I like to think of the difference between Project Management and Project Leadership is that:
- Project Management gets things done
- Project Leadership makes changes happen
But there is more to it than that.
