Project Manager as Coach
by Marie Bankuti, PMP, PCC, CPCC
It’s tough being a Project Manager. You’re responsible for the performance of your team, often without direct authority. You have to set high standards, keeping things moving and under control. At the same time, you won’t get the type of performance you’re looking for by being too tough. We all know it’s important to motivate and empower our team. It’s a challenge to balance the need to drive towards success, while respecting different styles and enabling individual brilliance. In this interactive session, we’ll discuss how coaching your team can get to the heart of this dilemma.
Coaching isn’t a fluffy nice-to-have. Coaching creates engagement, and engagement creates solid bottom line results.
You will…
- Learn a powerful, easy to use coaching model
- Practice and experience what it means to coach and be coached
- Assess your strengths and areas of development in terms of coaching skills
- Learn ways to incorporate coaching tools and techniques into your role as PM
