Duration: 1 hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C – Free PDU

  • Do you work for a vampire?
  • Or, as a project manager, does your project team see you as a vampire?

If you can feel your life being sucked out of you because of your job, the people you work with, or the creepy guy that wrecks your project you’re probably working for a vampire.

Vampires in the corporate world love the angst, complexity, and office drama that make you hate your job, kills your joy, and robs you of the passion you once felt in the work you do.

Based on his newest book, Vampire Management: Why Your Job Sucks, author and project management consultant Joseph Phillips will explore the five most common reasons why people hate their jobs. You don’t want to work for a vampire—and you certainly don’t want to become one. Project managers should attend this presentation to:

  • Recognize the tell-tale signs of vampire managers
  • Explore how to LEAD, NOT MANAGE project team members
  • Learn strategies to fight back against office vampires
  • Focus on completing projects rather than creating project drama
  • Escape the corporate graveyard where vampires lurk forever and ever
