Misunderstanding leadership at different levels can often be confused with managerial skills when moving to important commanding-roles.

Often this leads to disastrous outcomes or, at minimum, damage human relationships and respect for business purpose.

The damage is not limited to poor outcomes of the initiative/project, but penetrates discretely and subtly for the long term.

This can negatively impact organizational image, reputation for managing human resources, and keeping and maintaining high performers.

The role of leadership in project management at every level is required to ensure that the right things take place in areas of assigned responsibility, and to make sure that it is aligned with strategic direction.

An understanding of the difference will help managers to learn LEADERSHIP SKILLS and enhance their effectiveness at varying levels in hierarchy for project management, program management, portfolio management and the EPMO.

This will help create the desired outcomes together in a coordinated manner to advance the defined strategic direction.

Participants of this webinar will learn:

• An understanding of the differences
• How the differences Impact project implementation
• Importance for managers to learn leadership skills
• Impacts on project outcomes

Understanding That Managerial & Leadership
Approaches Are Radically Different

Live Webinar July 12th, 2016 – 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm EDT
Presented by:  Human Capital Institute
Webinar Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

This session is on the book Connection Culture: The Competitive Advantage of Shared Identity, Empathy and Understanding at Work.

In the average organization only 30 percent of employees are engaged, while in the best organizations the number climbs to 60 percent or more.

The low rate of engagement hasn’t budged in more than a decade.

Why?

Employee engagement surveys and programs are not enough. Higher engagement is rooted in a culture whose language, attitudes and behaviors make people feel connected to others and to the vision of the organization.

Employees in an organization with a high degree of connection are more productive, engaged, collaborative, and loyal.

In fact, research demonstrates that there is a set of learnable leadership behaviors that can ignite employees to not just survive, but thrive.

Sharing knowledge integrated from multiple fields including neuroscience, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, history, and proprietary research, Michael Lee Stallard and Todd W. Hall, of E Pluribus Partners, describe the “Connection Culture” that every organization needs to boost employee engagement and produce sustained high performance.
