As a project manager who wants to grow and succeed, you must make yourself relevant to your organization's overall mission, strategies and goals. In this keynote presentation, Kristy Tan Neckowicz shares her experiences of what CEOs need and want from project managers, from schedule planning and communication to leadership skills, to contribute to the success of their businesses.

Great webinar
I think CEOs are looking for PMs who:
1. Are trustworthy
2. Are committed to the organization and the goal of the program
3. Who are forthright and clear in communication
4. Who are adaptable
5. Who are able to target communications appropriately
6. Who are a partner
I think that Kristy's observation that PMs tend to be over-optimistic about ability to recover is really helpful. As is her observation that hiding bad news is robbing the CEO of other options.
