Overview:   

Project managers are vanguards of change where resistance is the common currency and dealing with it is the barometer of success. This prominent role played by project management is one of the reasons why Gregory  Balestrero, PMI President and CEO recently changed the title of a high profile PMI communication from Leadership in Project Management to Leadership Through Project Management. Join Bill Richardson for an entertaining and informative look at a facilitative leadership approach that underpins the principle of leading through project management. Find out how to transform resistance into advocacy by becoming a thinking partner with your team instead of a thinking replacement. Learn how a facilitative leadership style builds the capacity for self management and the environment for interdependent team play. If project management is a team game; then facilitative leadership provides the playbook.

  

Bill Richardson (PMP, PgMP) is an internationally recognized speaker, author, facilitator, coach, and trainer. Bill brings a unique blend of account management, project management, and process management to the realm of maximizing the return on investment of projects, program, portfolios, and people. His recent book, Thinking on Purpose for Project Managers: Outsmarting Evolution, crystallizes his experience into a set of five steps to help project managers take control of their thinking and ultimately their results.
