Do you have any idea why project success rates are at the lowest they’ve been in over a decade?

One reason may be that many project managers and project team members need help with building, leading, and positively influencing unified, high-performing project teams. In this session, you’ll learn why interpersonal effectiveness delivers project success…and how you can have both!

Key learning points from this webinar include:

• Increase buy-in from team members and stakeholders by understanding the connection between trust, conflict, and accountability
• Understand how to develop and maintain accountability with project team members and stakeholders
• Learn to influence project participants on all levels of the project who do not directly report to you including: clients, team members, stakeholders, vendors

I was very pleased with the one-hour webinar “The Missing Link: Interpersonal Effectiveness for Project Success” that aired yesterday. The presenter gave many personal experiences from 20 years as a project manager that vividly illustrate the importance of the quality of relationships with project team members to the success of the project. – Jeff Leskowat of Quality Business Solutions.
