PM 101: Workshop 9 – Project Leadership and Working with People

Location: In-Person | SBUS 225

Date(s): June 13

Time: 1pm – 3pm

Facilitator:   David Vincenti - Adjunct, Management

Even though “human” is a type of resource, its importance is self-evident. As such, we are dedicating an entire workshop focusing on people.  In addition to a brief discussion on leadership theories and ways of motivating people, we will also discuss a common challenge in projects – a lack of clear roles and responsibilities among the project team members.  This deficiency can cause headaches for the project managers, and in the worst case, confusing roles can also cause conflicts.  In addition, this session will also discuss project negotiations, and how negotiation can be an effective tool for resolving disagreements and conflicts.

As a part of the workshop, we are planning two activities:

1. Apply RACI to drive clarity of responsibilities on projects
2. Discuss principles of forming effective teams
3. Examine selective project negotiation scenarios and determine optimal approach to achieving agreement
