Details

Chris Coates will lead a presentation on Project Manager Abdication and Situational Awareness. He will discuss:
• What does it mean for a Project Manager to "abdicate"?
• How and why does this happen? What are some strategies to manage this phenomenon?

Research indicates that this is a symptom of a greater cause. Knowing your team members' personalities, how they think, how they work, not only allows you to communicate more effectively, but can arm you to use your team's collective strengths in service of the project.

If possible, please bring your Myers-Briggs type with you to the meeting (including the numerical range for each category). You can take the test here: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
