Sometimes you end up doing everything in your project yourself. You are the center of control. But sometimes changes happen so fast, it's hard to keep up and in control. It seems lately "sometimes" is more often then we would like.
One of the approaches to deal with the new world we do projects in is to let the team self-organize. But how do you get your team to do this? How do you know this is actually going to work?
Bas de Baar argues that now is the time to put more leadership into your Project Management. You have a clear role in this new world. But it requires strong communication skills, dedicated personal development and for some, old habits to brake.
In this presentation he will present the alignment of goals and approaches between organization, project and individuals as the central task of a Project Leader.
