About the Program
Even though your title is project manager, how your lead your project team can make the difference between easy success and a struggle to deliver against the project plan. Management is tactical and more of a science; leadership is strategic and more of an art.
As with all art forms, each individual brings his or her own unique strengths to the practice. In this presentation, we will explore authenticity in leadership by examining what each of us brings to the role of project manager.
We are each born with certain aspects - brain style, gender, and communication preferences - and develop them in a cultural context - our country of origin, our generation, and our workplace.
Come hear how the latest research in these areas can help us effectively weave these differences into the fabric of effective project teams.
About the Speaker
Michael Van Dyke was a project manager for 25 years for theater, music, and dance productions in regional and educational theaters like the Yale Repertory Theater, Amherst College, Dartmouth College, and the Santa Fe Opera.
In those venues, he coordinated such diverse team members as union workers, professional staff, students, and volunteers. His teaching experience spans a variety of venues: from Assistant Professor at the Yale University School of Drama, to a facilitator of outdoor team building exercises for business clients, to Workforce Development instructor.
Through his company, Serengeti Enterprises, Inc., he provide training, team building, and coaching services for businesses and individuals in business in the greater Metro area. The Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) and PMIWDC formed an educational partnership last year and he has been a presenter in that series of courses.
