Are You Too Soft?

Most Project Manager/Business Analyst leaders are not consistently willing to make the tough and unpopular project-related decisions, even though their instincts warn them that they are not taking the most effective action.

Witness examples of PM/BA actions (or inactions) that are indicative of too-soft behaviour.  Will you recognize familiar behaviour?

You do not have to be rude, insensitive, arrogant, or a bully
To avoid being too soft!

None of these attributes are acceptable …ever!

Come prepared to rethink what constitutes effective project management and business analyst leadership behaviour.

  • How to become a more effective leader
  • How to avoid being too soft
