management
The essential genetic traits of an highly emotional intelligence -- creativity and intuition -- are what separate the great leaders from the average managers.

Any organization cannot survive on DNA alone. It must be complemented by skills that are learned and cultivated over time. In the end, the "X factor" is not an end-all, be-all trait that gives managers a golden ticket to success. Without hard work, business savvy and the ability to manage people, even the most creative and intuitive will fail.
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
— Peter Drucker


#hOW
As a web project manager/creative/UX lead, I coordinate and communicate the day-to-day tactical implementation of the front-end web site project, acting within the constraints of the project charters and goals, project budget, development schedule, and quality objectives laid out in the planning stages.
As a team member, I ultimately responsible for keeping the overall team activities focused on the site strategic objectives and agreed deliverables, and I continually monitor the scope of the project activities to ensure that the team stays “on time and on budget.”
I act as the primary contact between the web team and the sponsor and manages the overall communication among creative, and UX. I , also, work closely with the technical lead, project manager and production elements of the web site team.
I work closely with the project manager, who create and maintain the project planning and strategy documents, budget spreadsheets, project schedules and Gantt charts, meeting notes, billing records, and other project documentation that details the team’s activities.
