Don’t be parochial, get the job done!

I've blogged before about how you have to wear different "hats" to do well in IT. I think the hats are: project manager, program manager, product owner, customer, developer, and tester. That said, as a consultant (or employee for that matter!) the "that's not my role" mentality is completely retarded. Don't do it. Wear many hats and don't develop a not invented here mentality! Make sure you develop skills in all of these disciplines and figure out how you can get the job done if you're given any of these tasks. Learn from the masters of these roles and be the "project manager" to drive toward getting the job done. Don't be parochial!
