Why project management skills are valuable for leaders
- I've got a little secret: project management skills aren't just for project managers. They're for everybody. If you've planned a kid's birthday party, or organized the family reunion, or maybe even coordinated a business conference, congratulations, you have managed a project. We all manage projects all the time, but too often we think of project management as the super complicated, highly technical construction or IT projects. But the truth is that if you're coordinating any unique event or activity with a defined start and finish date, you're managing a project, whether you realize it or not. Hi, I'm Dana Brownlee, a certified project management professional who has worked in the field of project management for decades. I've taught project management courses and presented at conferences around the U.S. and globally. And I'll tell you a really interesting fact. During all my years teaching project management, I've had more requests to train non-project managers than project managers. Think about it. Don't most leaders need to understand things like how to develop a schedule with realistic estimates, how to analyze risks, or design an effective kickoff meeting, how to manage tasks, lead status meetings, and build a strong team culture? It makes a lot of sense. So I developed specific training focused on doing just that. Not explaining project management soup to nuts, but instead, cherry-picking some of the most impactful, easy-to-use tactics and techniques that are applicable for virtually everyone. If you're interested, let's get started.
