During last night's planning meeting with some outstanding high school students I took some time for a coaching-moment. As these young people learn how to become good project managers it is also important for them to enhance their social etiquette skills relating to timely communication be it voice, email, or text messaging. It was at that meeting that the focus for this second article became known.

Step 3. Learn to set priorities based on the following criteria -- IF YOU DO NOTHING: Serious - has the potential of impacting people, money, safety, or quality Urgent - need for timely action Growth - has the potential of getting worst, better or staying the same That is, if the item meets any of these criteria it is important
