MOMBASA: THE MASTERING PROJECT MANAGEMENT SEMINAR 24-28 APRIL 2018 SAROVA WHITESANDS, MOMBASA KENYA
Greetings!
How a major project is handled can either make or break a person’s career — and even his organisation’s fortune. While in developed nations many people have formal training in project management, here in the Africa many project managers learn about project management on the job.
Overview
Projects are delivered by people and their attitudes and skills make a massive difference to the success of a project. The major difference between a project manager and a ‘Master’ project manager lies in the ability to understand that successful Project Management is about the effective utilization of both Hard Skills and Soft Skills. It goes without saying that ‘what’ you do as a project manager is important, but ‘how’ you do it is absolutely critical.
This seminar demonstrates the practice of project management hard and soft skills. It presents a number of ‘critical’ habits related to how you manage projects through, and with, people. Issues such as time management, personality types, how to understand and develop your team members, developing your leadership skills, conflict management, negotiation skills, building and motivating your team are comprehensively covered.
