Training Event 10-6-2008: 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. You won't want to miss this! Seminar materials include the book: Neal Whitten's No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects.
