Abstract: Project Managers must analyze, schedule, plan, solve problems, manage change, control budgets and manage multiple functions and personalities, in situations where most team members do not report directly to the project manager.
So how do you get teams of people who have different objectives and different roles to achieve one project goal, on time and within budget?
The speaker, Clint Arnold, will share and discuss how to combine standard project management skills to organize, plan, manage change and communicate along with a few leadership skills like listening, pushing the envelope, servant leadership, ego holograms, simplification and challenging the status quo, can enable smoother project flow and better teamwork in a way you may not have thought of before.
