Learn to realistically categorise and integrate management requirements.
Description:
Project managers today are more than just managers of processes and deliverables - they are shapers of influence, mediators between stakeholders and drivers of change. But which leadership competences can be implemented and which expectations set the bar too high? David Hudson sheds light on the growing demands on project management in the area of conflict between theory and practice, particularly against the background of professional standards such as the IPMA ICB4.
Key Takeaways:
Complexity, virtual collaboration, conflicting expectations - every day you operate in an environment that demands clear leadership. David Hudson teaches you how to provide orientation without losing sight of yourself. He shows how decisions can be made with confidence, how trust is built and what the difference is between influence and responsibility. Instead of theories, you will receive impulses that work in everyday management - precise, reflective and applicable.
