PM Debate: Accidental versus Intentional Project Managers

 

This week we continue our focus on the profile of the successful project manager. We debate which type of profile of project manager makes a better practitioner, the accidental kind or the intentional kind. The motion is accidental project managers make better project managers than intentional one. Philip is arguing in support of the statement and Mary Elizabeth is arguing against it.

The format of this 20-25 minute podcast includes a key question that is debated by Philip and Mary Elizabeth Diab. The structure includes a brief introduction, opening statements, questions and answers, and closing statements.
