Can these movies help us become better leaders?<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely they can! (In fact, I challenge you to find a Christmas film that doesn\u2019t have a management lesson in it if you look hard enough).<\/p>\n<h2>5 Project Management Lessons From Your Favorite Holiday Films<\/h2>\n<p>Whether the characters are pushed to learn from failure or undergo unexpected transformations, there is a lesson for each and every one of us.<\/p>\n<h3>#1: Embrace the Unique Qualities of Your Team Members<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"image-box-blog\" href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/qchCccHcaGfWE.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4694\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/qchCccHcaGfWE.gif\" alt=\"christmas gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all familiar with Rudolph, the iconic reindeer and star of the film by the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Rudolph struggles to fit in with the other reindeer thanks to his unusual, luminescent red nose. Even Santa doesn\u2019t seem to appreciate what makes Rudolph different.<\/p>\n<p>All that changes on the night of Christmas Eve when a storm blows through, making the night sky too foggy to navigate. Santa is almost ready to give up when he suddenly notices Rudolph\u2019s glowing nose and realizes that Rudolph is the solution to his problem.<\/p>\n<p>If it hadn\u2019t been for him, the reindeer team probably would never have gotten off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, it\u2019s the unique qualities of each and every person on your team that makes you stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, some of them won\u2019t work as fast as others, but that doesn\u2019t mean that they don\u2019t each make their unique contribution to achieving your goals.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t fall into the trap of <a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/individual-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evaluating your team based on their individual performance<\/a>. Instead, look at the outcomes they deliver as a team. Manage the work and not the workers.<\/p>\n<h3>#2: Manage the Uncertain and Unknown Effectively<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"image-box-blog\" href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/santa-scott-calvin.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4703\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/santa-scott-calvin.gif\" alt=\"santa scott calvin\" width=\"350\" height=\"237\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The last thing that single dad Scott Calvin expects is to be chosen as the world\u2019s next Santa. But after a freak accident occurs at his home, that\u2019s exactly what happens in <em>The Santa Clause<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Scott is forced to undergo some pretty dramatic changes, both physical and psychological. At first, he resists and downplays what\u2019s happening to him, rather than accepting his new role. This leads to a lot of struggling, until Scott has a change of heart (and direction), allowing him to save Christmas just in time.<\/p>\n<p>The nature of knowledge work is unpredictable and it can be a little bit scary sometimes when you feel like you\u2019re not in \u201ccontrol\u201d of everything. The only thing we can do to get closer to what will actually happen in the future is to manage the uncertain and unknown effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Once you start working on your project and deliver results, your plan has to change based on the new information you have collected.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t try to eliminate the uncertain and unknown. That\u2019s simply impossible. Instead, focus on managing it effectively. That\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/continuous-forecasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continuous forecasting<\/a> is all about.<\/p>\n<h3>#3: Constantly Look for Opportunities for Improvement<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"image-box-blog\" href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/train-the-polar-express.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4701\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/train-the-polar-express.gif\" alt=\"Train the polar express\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 2004 children\u2019s movie The Polar Express begins with a call to adventure: \u201cHero Boy\u201d is not even sure he believes in Santa or wants to join the magical train heading to the North Pole.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, though, he becomes a better, braver version of himself as he makes new friends and takes risks. If Hero Boy had been perfect from the beginning, there wouldn\u2019t be much of a story \u2013 what makes the film so memorable is that he takes a leap of faith and tries new things, even when he doesn\u2019t have all the answers. For him, it\u2019s not a sudden transformation \u2013 it\u2019s a series of events that create real and lasting change.<\/p>\n<p>Improvement is not a one-time event. There is no shortage of techniques, tools, and software that present themselves as the solution to all of your problems, but real-world business environments are never that simple. Lasting change happens in increments, over time, each new improvement building on the one before.<\/p>\n<p>Your workflows will constantly evolve. And <a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/learning-from-failure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">learning from failure<\/a> is the foundation of this process! It is the secret ingredient that enables us to continuously improve our working practices, organizational culture and ultimately increase our business outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>My advice? Use every opportunity to identify shortcomings and turn them into opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cf-14869-area-150047\"><\/div>\n<h3>#4: Put Yourself in Your Customers&#8217; Shoes<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"image-box-blog\" href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/l2YWvnLGNIcoEd13G.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"262\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4699\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/l2YWvnLGNIcoEd13G.gif\" alt=\"Christmas Gif 4\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Miracle on 34th Street is another Christmas classic about characters who must undergo a change of both heart and perspective.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key turning points in the movie is when Kris Kringle begins telling parents where they can go to buy toys that Macy&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t carry. This horrifies the store&#8217;s management, of course, who are motivated to keep all spending in the store.<\/p>\n<p>What they soon come to realize, however, after hearing feedback from the customers, is that Kris is actually on to something.<\/p>\n<p>Putting the customer&#8217;s needs ahead of profit succeeds ends up creating brand loyalty, and results in people spending even more at their store.<\/p>\n<p>Always look into the <a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/how-to-split-your-work-into-pieces-of-customer-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">process of defining and prioritizing your work<\/a> from a customer&#8217;s perspective. Put yourself into your customer&#8217;s shoes. What\u2019s the actual problem you&#8217;re trying to solve? Where does the pain come from?<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the most feasible option that will solve this specific problem?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Try to come up with the easiest and fastest way to provide a deliverable to your client.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal is to deliver results and collect their feedback sooner so you can adjust your course accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>#5: Have Some Fun!<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"image-box-blog\" href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-alone-hi.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4704\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-alone-hi.gif\" alt=\"home alone hi\" width=\"498\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the infamous Christmas favorite <em>Home Alone<\/em>, Kevin MacCallister accidentally gets left behind while the rest of his family goes on vacation to Paris.<\/p>\n<p>While most eight-year-olds would be devastated (or terrified), Kevin finds all kinds of creative ways to have a great time during his \u201cstaycation\u201d: from jumping on his parents\u2019 bed and eating junk food to pranking the pizza delivery guy. Even when a couple of neighborhood criminals try to cause trouble, Kevin has fun doing his best to outwit them.<\/p>\n<p>A team that has fun together is more collaborative, more effective, more productive\u2014and more successful. Don\u2019t be so focused on the work that you forget to laugh a little, too! Organize an afternoon outing, have lunch delivered, or plan a team building event to build strong relationships on your team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cf-14869-area-125960\"><\/div>\n<h2>Lead Your Team With the Holiday Spirit<\/h2>\n<p>Apply these five holiday movie lessons and you\u2019ll be sure to improve your project management skills without sapping your energy.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas is \u201cthe most wonderful time of year\u201d for good reason. It\u2019s a great time to home in on these simple but effective lessons:<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1 Embrace the unique qualities of your team members.<\/strong> Don\u2019t underestimate anyone on your team. Each team player comes with their own strengths. Look at the outcome as a whole rather than individual performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 Manage the uncertain and the unknown effectively.<\/strong> As a project manager, you\u2019ll have to deal with the uncertain and unknown. That\u2019s simply the nature of knowledge work. Don&#8217;t try to eliminate it. It&#8217;s going to lead to a dead end. Instead, embrace it and make the most of it. Spoiler alert: continuous forecasting is one of the best ways to do this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 Constantly look for opportunities for improvement.<\/strong>\u00a0Learning from failure is the cornerstone of continuous improvement. Perceiving your shortcomings as opportunities will ultimately facilitate an environment of motivation, engagement and dedication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 Put Yourself in Your Customers&#8217; Shoes.<\/strong> Do your best to define your work from a customer&#8217;s perspective. Understand what your customers want and need, and then deliver the easiest and fastest solution you can. It\u2019s all about what people <em>really<\/em> want \u2013 rather than what you think they want (or should want).<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5 Have Some Fun!<\/strong> Last but not least, the team that plays together stays together \u2013 plus they do much better work. Don\u2019t forget to make time for fun, creative outings and events. You might not want to prank the pizza guy, but you definitely can cultivate an atmosphere of ease and laughter.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it \u2013 five timeless management lessons, decorated and dressed up just a little bit to reflect the Christmas spirit.
