Topic: The Power of Positive Leadership

In some organizations, the project management discipline is under ever-increasing pressure to demonstrate its value and contribution to the “bottom line.” And in most organizations, project practitioners ask how they can contribute greater value to their organizations from a more personal perspective.

Practitioners need to see the value in the power of positive leadership to create a unified and trusting culture. Relationships are the heart of this culture, so practitioners need to learn to lead with optimism, positivity, and belief.

By far, the most effective response to either case is to learn and understand how to apply various methods and tools for “connecting the dots” between projects, project management practices, widely accepted business practices, and their organizations practices. Project practitioners must develop their business-savvy competency, technical knowledge, and leadership capabilities.
