Managers and direct reports alike are feeling stretched in today’s fast-paced business environment.

Team members are asked to do more with less and managers are asked to direct and support others while still carrying a full load of their ownwork.

The result is rushed communication, poor listening, and nonexistent day-to-day coaching.

In this webinar, Ann Phillips (LinkedIn profile) Senior Consulting Partner, The Ken Blanchard Companies shares three skills that can help managers use their time more effectively.

This session draws from the The Ken Blanchard Companies’ Situational Leadership®II program.

Learn:

1. How to set goals in a time efficient manner that keeps people focused and on track.
2. How to identify development levels and diagnose specific needs for direction and support on individual goals and tasks.
3. How to match leadership style to development level and provide people with the direction and support they need to succeed.

Explore some of the realities managers are facing in today’s busy work environment and learn three proven approaches to regaining control of your managerial work life

About the Book:  Project Management for Small Projects, Second Edition

The first edition of Project Management for Small Projects introduced project management processes, tools, and techniques that are scalable and adaptable to small projects.

Project managers learned a structured, disciplined approach to managing small projects sensibly and realistically.

This new edition is updated throughout to reflect the PMBOK® Guide, Fifth Edition, balancing the particular needs of small projects with the project management methodology.

Project managers who are proficient at managing and leading their own projects are increasingly being called upon to work collaboratively with other project managers to lead components of a program.

In addition to knowing how to manage processes and how to lead the team, project managers must now also know how to collaborate and share knowledge with other project managers.

A new chapter on program management offers important insights and guidance for managing a group of related small projects in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually.

In this webinar Eduardo Lopez (ITMPI bio) presents the most advanced views in ethics and governance.

It emphasizes the existence of separated sets of ethical values adjusted to different circumstances, which along with personal interests, allegiances, and opportunity, comprise the ethical cube.

Then, the ethical and governance mechanisms are explained by the introduction of two novel concepts, the “Small Sins Allowed” and the “Line of Impunity”.

Discussion Topics:

• What is foundational to digital business
• How to organize and source talent for digital business initiatives
• How to ensure you deliver on expectations

We all talk about those bad “Command and Control” leaders who are hindering the success of the Agile Transformations we’re leading BUT … let’s take a second and reflect.

• What are the roots of “Command and Control”?
• Why do leaders behave this way?
• What positive intentions do they have?
• What command and control tendencies do YOU have yourself?

The journey to Adaptive and Servant Leadership is a long one, it doesn’t happen over night and it takes conscious effort to get there.

I’ve watched many leaders who you would have written-off actually make this leap and of course several others who couldn’t.

I want to share some of the best tips we’ve learned from the real world on how to navigate this journey and help others do the same.

We will also have a fun workshop where you will complete your own Adaptive Leader radar self-assessment.

Presenter: Sally Elatta, (LinkedIn profile) one of PMIs® LEAD Experts, is a dynamic Coach, Trainer and Public Speaker who is passionate about transforming individuals, teams and organizations into improving their project management and software development practices and delivering business value early and often. She is a certified ScrumMaster, Scrum Practitioner, Certified by IBM, Microsoft and Sun.  Sally also publishes several short learning videos on AgileVideos.com.

For decades, leaders and managers have been trained to think and act on upon the assumption that employees and customers are rational beings.

Motivational, organisational and structural approaches have been developed on the premise that people know what is good for them and that they behave accordingly.

Therefore rewards, bonuses, job promotions as well as punishments have been designed to make sure people understand and achieve goals.

However, there is strong scientific evidence that this approach is not just irrelevant but dangerous because it does not accept humans as they are:

1. Emotional,
2. Irrational and  …
3. Primarily focused on their survival.

Management styles need to change and modern leaders have to reconsider their approach.

 The webinar aims to:

• Understand What Business is Really About Today
• Familiarize participants with misunderstandings, stereotypes and myths concerning our brain, leadership and management
• Understand the three brains approach and its relation to leadership
• Discover various aspects of leadership-related brain rules and protocols
• Be able to recognize the impact on motivation, engagement, performance and internal communications
• Learn a comprehensive model for applying brain-based leadership
• Make your own brain ‘leadership-smarter’ and achieve more!

In this webinar Nikolaos Dimitriadis (LinkedIn profile) provides both the evidence for the need to change and directions on how this should happen. Prepare for the holistic brain leader!
