Since then, we’ve seen PMI (Project Management Institute) update their talent triangle of the ‘ideal skill set for project managers’. The new triangle includes power skills. PMI explains, they talk about power (rather than interpersonal or soft) skills to reflect the value these skills bring to project professionals, teams, and organizations.
Project Delivery, Uncertainty & Neuroscience was written to help you build your power skills.
Fully referenced, yet concise and easy to read, it draws on recent research in neuroscience, mindfulness, complexity, and project management.
The subtitle, a Leader’s Guide to Walking in Fog reflects the reality of organizational life where so much is changing it can seem impossible to keep up - let alone influence the way forward! At times we get stuck, and frustrated, unable to put a finger on what’s going wrong or why. It’s like being caught in a thick fog. Unable to see a way forward, all we can do is keep walking and take cues from those around us.
Part One is a primer. It explores how the human brain works to build an understanding of why people behave as they do in organisations (the social dynamics). It uses this as a platform to examine the dynamics of complexity, and attitudes to risk and uncertainty; three factors which have a fundamental impact on stress levels and project outcomes.
Part Two is primarily a toolkit. It includes a series of practical frameworks and suggestions to help you apply your knowledge from Part One. Use them to develop your power skills – your capability to read and influence the behaviors and emotions of everyone involved.
Do this and you’ll take the stress out of delivery, reduce complexity, and improve business and personal outcomes.
Some people describe Project Delivery, Uncertainty and Neuroscience as a truncated version of Neuroscience for Project Success.
Project Delivery, Uncertainty and Neuroscience is the ideal purchase for people who:
- are keen to build their power skills,
- want an introduction to this arena,
- are short on time,
- want an economical way to share their learning with team members and stakeholders.
