Successful projects don't just happen ? they are made to happen. This seminar reveals leading-edge best practices that make all the difference between leading consistently successful projects and playing the victim with troubled projects. This seminar provides insights, lessons, and solutions to key questions that project managers and leaders want and need ? giving participants a competitive edge in leading projects and working with stakeholders. It's not about the ability of those around you to lead; it's about your ability to lead despite what is happening around you. Topics include:

• leadership styles
• managing priorities
• boldness
• integrity
• accountability
• duties of the effective project manager
• the need to fail
• dealing with difficult people
• three critical actions that are overlooked on almost all projects
• specific leadership tips for promoting project success

No theories here. This stuff works! These tips can help promote job performance effectiveness. Adopting one can benefit your project; adopting many can benefit your career. Materials include the book: Neal Whitten's No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects.
