Managing projects effectively has become essential in every organisation large or small. The uncertainties of the world business economy, rapidly changing technology, and the intensifying focus on sustainability has driven many organisations to develop specific methods for managing projects and to seek highly qualified and competent people to manage those projects. These driving factors require todays project managers to accept and adapt to change, lead diverse teams, act as ambassadors for their organisations and deal with a multitude of challenging project stakeholders.
It is clear that Project managers are placed in a unique position. They must balance their roles as leader and manager, interface with multiple types of stakeholders, are often the "face" of their organisation to its customers, and must deal with a seemingly unending stream of challenges to be successful. These challenges and the ability to address them require the project manager to maintain awareness of personal brand of and the impact it will have on project assignments, career opportunity, and the willingness of project teams to work for and support the project manager. As the profession of project management evolves and the demand for competent and value driven project managers increases, personal brand and reputation have become major factors in the criteria used to select and assign people to project leadership positions.
Indispensable Factors
The project manager must develop skills and competencies in several areas to be considered for an assign. In addition there are 4 major factors a project manager must address and continue to develop:
Accomplishability: your ability to achieve and deliver valued results.
Value/cost: the value delivered perception relative to the cost.
Supply/Demand: the market dynamics of your position, skills, etc.
Likeability: how others perceive you.
This presentation addresses the importance of the professional project manager in todays business environment and the need for the project manager to continually enhance existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and become a go to person in the organisation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the business needs of an organisation, clearly and visibly creating value from a client and supplier view point, and continually developing and managing personal brand.

Executive Summary First Break All The RulesGreg Crouch
油
This document summarizes the key ideas from the book "First, Break All the Rules" by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman. It discusses 12 questions, called the "Big 12", that are strong indicators of employee engagement. Companies that score high on these questions see benefits like higher profits, productivity, retention and customer satisfaction.
The document also outlines four core activities of great managers: 1) selecting employees based on their talents not just experience, 2) defining the right outcomes not steps, 3) focusing on strengths not weaknesses, and 4) finding the right career fit not following a prescribed path. Great managers get the best from their employees by understanding their talents and putting them in a position to succeed.
The document provides advice and best practices for managing development teams. It discusses holistic management, focusing on the entire team rather than individual tasks. Technical management responsibilities include design, quality, and implementation. Effective recruiting involves building a great team and keeping the right people. Execution emphasizes continuous integration, reflection, and improvement. Providing frequent feedback in a positive 10:1 ratio is important. Finally, managers are responsible for employees' careers by understanding their goals, providing challenges, and ensuring ongoing development.

5. The Competency Pyramid Tiers 2 & 3 stuff education system was to have taught. Culture lost emphasis on team Pushed emphasis on individual success Win at all costs
6. The Competency Pyramid Technical skills are required at all levels but cant be removed from the context of social skills. 1 & 3 promote power of the team Why entrepreneurial companies can react faster than big corporations EQ vs. IQ
7. IQ vs. EQ IQ defines intellectual potential; what you can do. IQ scores are invariable. IQ gets you the interview. EQ defines how well you use what smarts you have; what you will do. EQ scores are flexible; they can always improve. EQ gets you the job & promoted!

13. Effects of Anger Negative Distracts you, intimidates others, increases physical stress. Positive Motivates you, effectively gets others attention. Why might you want to hold on to your anger? page 13
14. REINFORCERS How is your anger positively reinforced? How do you positively reinforce others behaviors?

Editor's Notes
#8: THREE IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT EQ from Dr. Daniel Goleman, author of several books on EQ and EQ in the workplace. EQ and IQ are not necessarily correlated you dont have to have a high IQ to have a high EQ and having a high IQ doesnt indicate a high EQ. Example: the stereotype lab genius mixing the formulas and doing the complicated math problems. We can raise our EQ. We dont know how much exactly of our IQ is what were born with and how much is influenced by upbringing, education, experience, etc. The research favors the nature side. But we do know that we can raise (or influence) our EQ. By learning and mastering the skills sets of EQ, we can have a higher EQ. The most important thing Goleman tells us is that it is EQ far more than IQ that determines our ability to be successful and happy in our lives. This is good news! It means every one of us has access to a high EQ (b/c it doesnt matter what our IQ is). It means we can learn the skills and raise our EQ and by doing so, we increase our potential for happiness and success in our lives!
