Quarterly Breakfast Meeting
Subject: Are you a Project Parent? – Project Parenting an approach to managing teams
Date: May 26, 2022
Location: Virtual
Speaker Presentation: 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM
While a servant-leader is a servant first and begins with a natural feeling to serve, a ‘parent-manager’ is a parent first and begins with a natural sense of nurture. While we often bring Project Management principles into our family scene to help us better organize and address issues, let us spend some time recognizing the valuable “lessons learned” from our home ground that can be plowed back into our workplace. Never was the role of a mentor, a coach, an empathetic “parent” collaborator felt more than in the recent years of uncertainty.
PMIGL has Teamed up with ProjectBites
PMI Great Lakes has secured a chapter subscription to ProjectBites, an online library of Project Management education and inspiration in 20-minute video and audio bites. Use of this site is free for PMIGL members, but individuals will need to register.
