Go around admitting doubt, and your project will fail.
Tell everyone that it will succeed and they will believe it too, and you have every chance of getting there.
You’re thinking it cannot be that simple?
That it just sounds like self-help psycho-babble?
All I can say is that I have never once in my life have seen a doubting project manager succeed.
The opposite is of course not necessarily true.
Believing in project success is necessary.
Believing alone is not sufficient to get the job done.
In a nutshell: Go around admitting doubt, and your project will fail.
