While working as a project manager, I needed to submit a report by a certain deadline, otherwise we wouldn’t be eligible for new funding. However, some information from key stakeholders was delayed or missing completely, and the person who needed to sign off the report was off work. I created a shortlist, flagging areas which were missing information, and systematically went through my contacts for each department – flagging the urgency of the information and the implications of not receiving it in time. I also ran through the latest updates to the report over the phone with the person who needed to approve it to get sign-off. With my perseverance, I was just about able to submit the report on time, and not only did we receive the funding but the entire department was also thrilled.
