Servant Leadership Servant Leadership is focused on serving your team, rather than your team serving you. Out of serving one's team, a desire to lead is manifest. Servant Leadership is radically different than when the leader is leading first. When the focus is on leading first, it is very easy to use your power, your title (role in the hierarchy), or the fact that you were put in charge as the basis of your actions. When we employ servant leadership, we support our team as a whole, and its individual members, in their growth and development. We ensure that their highest needs are being met through our support and service. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Project Management and Developing Our Future Generations The growth of the project management industry over the past ten years has led to over 40% of developed countries' GDP being spent on new changes and deliveries.

The Project Management Odyssey Project Management is composed of many elements. So many, in fact, that it is hard at times to get the big picture. There are more than 100,000 books on Amazon under Project Management. There are three main certification bodies and the latest version of the US standard, PMI's PMBOK® Guide is composed of 5 process groups, 10 knowledge areas and 47 steps. The complexity needs to be simplified. For this presentation, we have gone back to one of the original stories by Homer - the Odyssey. Odysseus and his men were tired after 10 years of fighting and looking forward the journey home. This idea of a journey is at the heart of each and every project. A journey to somewhere else, another place. A beginning, a middle, and an end. We will use this journey to illustrate the correct way to approach any project. In doing so we hope to assist you in retaining the key ingredients for doing projects better in your equally challenging environment.

The Effect of Project Budgeting on Agile Transformations We've all participated in annual budget planning sessions that take weeks to complete, only to find the funding has been cut in half. We've also had to wait for months while decisions are delayed, causing us to delay work and hiring, but the deadlines don't move! And through all this, how do we keep our teams busy and continuously delivering valuable product?
