Today’s project managers are expected to overcome challenges and obstacles that, just a few years ago, could not even be imagined. These challenges require a unique type of person who understands what value is and also understands the values that drive one’s own direction.

Values are developed over time and are associated with things of importance and usefulness. They are also associated with enduring beliefs and ideals.

The successful project manager understands value from a business perspective and a personal perspective and, using leadership skills, an understanding of the complexities of working with people, and a desire to accomplish objectives, creates a plan for success.

This presentation addresses how core values are formed at the individual level and at the organizational level. It will also address how these values drive personal performance and influence the effectiveness of the professional project manager.
