In this practical and highly interactive workshop presented by Andy Kaufman, you will improve your ability to influence others, manage your time, coach your team members and more.
While technical project management skills are valuable when it comes to delivering your initiatives, they’re clearly not enough in today’s increasingly complex and competitive global marketplace."I got promoted because I know how to calculate critical path by hand" said no project manager ever!
The PMI Talent Triangle® recognizes the ideal skill set is a combination of technical, leadership, and strategic & business management expertise. In our work with project managers around the world, we find the single biggest investment you can make in your project-related career is to invest in your ability to lead.
In this highly interactive workshop, we'll talk about what it means in practical terms to lead people and projects. Andy Kaufman, host of The People and Projects Podcast, will share lessons learned from his work with organizations around the world, from highly bureaucratic cultures such as the United Nations to small entrepreneurial startups. You will leave with a clearer idea of what it means to be a leader as a project professional. You'll be able to describe an easy-to-remember process to make better decisions for you, your team, your projects, and your career. You'll have a new set of evidence-based influencing skills added to your career arsenal. And you'll leave with practical skills to take what you've learned and help grow leaders around you.
