Someone took the time to craft out the top reasons why husky voiced Sith Lord, Darth Vader would make a really good project manager. Missed the project milestone? Pfft, which bitches need to be force choked? Failed to meet the KPIs? Someone’s not gonna have a planet to return to.
In all seriousness, it’s a good read with tons of legitimate advice on project management peppered between all the Star Wars references:
Number 6: Vader managed risk and expectations pre-emptively. Remember that time when Vader went to Cloud City, bought off the management, then lured Han, Leia, and Chewbacca into a trap? Genius. The amount of planning and forethought that went in to that little exercise must have been epic. After some serious prioritizations, Vader perceived the highest risk to his Galaxy, and made a plan to mitigate the risk stat!
Additionally, you saw him having conversations with team members all over the place making sure they understood clearly what his expectations were with regards to the achievement of goals. Good project managers think about their projects defensively, and act to protect them aggressively.
