What Can Children Teach Us about Project Management?

As surprising as it may seem, the art of raising children leverages many of the same skills as managing a project team.

Fostering the growth of a child’s mind requires the creation of a positive atmosphere comprised of love, trust and enablement. Similarly, in working with teams, we strive to create an atmosphere of open communication, collaboration and trust.

This webinar will highlight and examine 7 things you can learn from kids that apply to project management:

1. Play group dynamics are a lot like team dynamics
   • no one should be left out
   • we should respect the will of the group
2. To gain cooperation, timing is everything
   • never seek it on empty stomachs or after a long day
   • understanding what motivates others is the key to maintaining collaboration
3. Learning moments need to be seized and capitalized on
   • capitalize on the sense of urgency for maximum effect
4. How to combat peer pressure
   • being unique doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
5. Working through conflict means learning to work it out
   • bullying hurts everyone, especially the bullier
6. Value everyone’s talents and approach
   • not everyone learns the same or thinks the same
7. Be consistent when applying support, rewards, corrections and routines
   • it will reduce anxiety and set a pace

In addition to facing the global pandemic, spiking inflation, and near-recession, today’s leaders must deal with trends such as the “Great Resignation,” “Quiet Quitting,” and “Bare Minimum Mondays.”

Likewise, they must figure out how to handle the dramatic changes that likely will result from emerging technologies such artificial intelligence-based tools.

All this while piloting their employees and organizations toward optimum performance.

But they can’t do it alone—and that’s where Learning and Development (L&D) comes in.

For the seventh year, Training magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide teamed up to conduct the Annual Leadership Survey, which focuses on what organizations are doing to develop effective leaders in these constantly changing times.

In this year’s survey, we saw some tremendous swings in needs and expectations and a clear indication that L&D, as an industry, is exploring new avenues and methods of effectively delivering leadership development training.

Join Lorri  & Michael  for this webinar, which they explore:

• The current state of leadership development (including levels of investment, priority skills, generational shifts, and learning methods)
• How the hybrid work environment is affecting leadership development
• Best practices and tips from high-performing companies to reinvent leadership development amidst continued turbulent times and technological transformation

You’ll come away with a roadmap to achieve a greater return on your leadership development investments as you help your leaders successfully guide their teams, employees, and organizations boldly and inclusively into the future.
