Presentation at PMXPO

Dear Kiron
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us

In Portugal the exploitation of child labor is a crime :-)

What about the lesson learned from this situation for team management?

Even though this was not a "team" in the sense we normally think, they did exhibit a number of the characteristics we would look for including:

1. Everyone having a voice
2. Ego-less contribution
3. Shared goals and tying of individual purpose to team purpose
4. A (very) challenging and compelling vision

Interesting what he wrote:
"they did exhibit a number of the characteristics we would look for including:

4. A (very) challenging and compelling vision "

Is that how teams work in practice?

Most of the successful ones I've seen, been part of or led could all check off most if not all of those characteristics.

However, this doesn't happen by accident - it takes good leadership and team members.

Dear Luis,

To me the best presentation was "Mastering the Art of Humanness in Project Management: Serving Others Through Powerful Communications" from Dana Lynn Bernstein. As i already had the opportunity of express here in this forum communication is the base of project management, build relationships, care with others, build empathy and yet for many of us the skill more difficult of training. So is never to much to discover or learn with others strategies to overcome these obstacles.

I agree was a very relevant presentation and delivered very well

Luis,

I would have to vote for Cara's keynote address. Such a uplifting story of perseverance and success as the only option. Many parallels to projects, team and attitude were the take aways.

Regards,
Mike
