Neal Whitten's No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects
Overview
Successful projects don't just happen—they are made to happen.
Popular speaker and best selling PM author Neal Whitten takes
leadership and project management to a personal level and reveals
leading-edge best practices that make all the difference between
leading consistently successful projects and playing the victim
with troubled projects. Focusing mostly on leadership and soft
skills, but including hard skills and life skills, this seminar
reveals choices to make and behaviors to adopt that are invaluable
in helping a person become a successful project manager and leader.
Based largely on Neal's new book, Neal
Whitten's No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects,
Neal has collected practices from among his favorite and most
effective—many learned too slowly and painfully. Adopting
one can benefit your project; adopting many can benefit your career.
An example*: It's not about the ability of those around you to
lead; it's about your ability to lead, despite that which is happening
around you. No theories here! This stuff works! Come prepared
to rethink what constitutes effective leadership and project management.
