Speak the Language of Leadership An excellent article by Phil Bristol, CMC, PMP, Projectivity Solutions and Gary Yeatts, MSW, Clarity Technologies to promote the leadership aspects of project management and the enhancement of the project management community. It was originally published as a part of the 2010 PMI Global Congress Proceedings – Washington DC, USA. Abstract Success as a project management professional requires a balance of subject matter competence, interpersonal skills, and conceptual abilities that produce an expected result. Business executive’s expectations regarding a project management professional’s competencies have evolved with increasing emphasis on leadership. Understanding the role of a leader and the importance of leadership communication skills are the prime factors for achieving the right organizational results. Unfortunately, most project management oriented publications do not explain interpersonal skill development with the same clarity used to describe project management processes. A leaders ability to influence, inspire, and motive directly correlates to interpersonal skill proficiency. The first section of this paper presents the importance of leadership on achieving results and the difference between managers and leaders. The second section reviews situational leadership and emotional intelligence as frameworks for the language of leadership. The third section explores how leaders can develop influence skills using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Dominance, Influencing, Steadiness, Compliance (DISC) communication assessment, and their “Way of Being.” Read the complete article on the PMI Netherlands Chapter website http://www.pmi-netherlands-chapter.org/images/stories/PMI-data/chapter-news/lngldrship.pdf
