Behavioral Aspects of Leadership Leadership requires absolute trust of your team and others. The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate strategies for integrating behavior aspects of leadership into our current methodologies. PMPs are taught that project managers must balance management and leadership. Leadership is vital to success, but project managers rarely have time to even think about, let alone demonstrate it. Many project managers end up confused and frustrated by the challenges to improve leadership skills. This video demonstrates strategies for integrating behavioral aspects of leadership into our current methodologies. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Responsible and Irresponsible Project Management Project managers have begun to embrace the concept that they have a responsibility beyond value creation for a narrow group of stakeholders. Since the early 2000s, the adoption of agile moved the focus of PM from company to customer value creation. Responsible PM seeks to extend our perspective to encourage Societal value creation (positive long-term environmental and social impacts) and reduce irresponsible PM, which is societal value destruction. Responsible Project Managers take ownership of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and enact them in their daily practice in an ethical manner. In this way, Responsible PM is differentiated from Corporate Social Responsibility, which is focused on organizational level representations and processes of enacting societal and community responsibility.
