Baseball managers coined the term to talk about a team player that fuses a team together. It’s the “glue” that supposedly prevents teams from splintering into cliques or being torn apart by runaway egos. When individual players set out to devote themselves to unifying the team, baseball managers call them “glue guys.”
At the end of the day, this is the Project Captain. It’s the employee who unifies a broken set of teams or employees to get them rowing in the same direction.

Today the Pittsburgh Steelers are tied with the New England Patriots with more Super Bowl wins than any other team in NFL history. Their legacy and dynasty, famous in the NFL. In 1974, they were… well not. In 1974 the Steelers were considered one of (if not the) most downtrodden teams in the NFL.
Prior to their AFC Championship game against the Oakland Raiders, a group of rookies went to the locker room and casually asked their equipment manager, Tony Parisi, for some spare boxes. The rookies were planning ahead. They’d need the boxes to pack up their belongings once the Steeler’s lost to the Raiders. They would return to Pittsburgh, quickly box up their personal items, and drive home for the off-season.
Suddenly, the rookies heard a familiar voice…
“What do you want the boxes for?”
There stood “Mean” Joe Greene. At 6’ 4’’ and 274 pounds, he already was a mammoth of a man. His personality and convictions made him larger than life. Greene didn’t appreciate the lack of confidence their request for boxes suggested. To him, it seemed as if they already had expected to lose the big game to Oakland.
None of the Rookies answered his question. They couldn’t. His value to the Steelers was as great in the locker room as it was to the field.
Facing the rookies, Greene didn’t yield. He asked once more,
“What do you want the boxes for?
The rookies, like the rest of the team, admired Greene. He personified the 7 traits of the Captain mentioned earlier. He brought a set of wisdom, insight, and tenacity to the team. He gave it his all and expected the same from his teammates. Teammates did not challenge or defy him, least of all the rookies. His leadership was unquestioned.
Standing there, with suddenly no need for a spare box, one of the rookies thought, Maybe we need to look at this a little differently.
The job of the Project Captain is to be the type of team captain that wins championships. Today’s project managers are often order takers and professional email forwarders. They are pencil pushers and perpetuate a status quo of project management.
Your job is to be that type of Captain. Not to be an order taker, professional email forwarder, pencil pusher, or the status quo of project management. You, the Project Captain, are here to revolutionize how knowledge work is done, getting projects completed on-time, on budget, and without the stress and hassle most organizations see in their day-to-day.
