    The End Of The Human Cannonball: Project Leadership In Today's World - Presentation Transcript

    1. The End Of The Human Cannonball:
      Project Leadership In Today’s World
      Bas de Baar

    2. Not good. But human.
      Sometimes you want to do
      everything yourself.
      Control it all. Check it all.
    3. Encouraged.
      Your company might even
      encourage you to be the one and
      only center of command and control.
    4. No problem.
      Central control is great when the
      path is smooth and efficiency is key.
    5. Problem.
      But your track may be blocked.
      Changes may occur and speed may
      be required.
    6. Why "You" being at the wheel is not (always) a
      good idea…
      Bottleneck.
      Slow response.
      Just you.
    7. Lack different views.
      Different people provide different viewpoints. When you are alone, you lack diversity of mind.
    8. Empowerment
      No influence.
      Influence motivates people.
      When your team has no influence,
      you miss out on engagement.
    9. Alternative.
      Self-organization
      Not you, but the team at the wheel.
    10. Like nature.
      Ants and bees self-organize.
      But they have built-in goals and
      behavior. They are stimulus-
      response systems.
    11. Humans are not ants.
      But they can be assisted to
      “self-organize”.
      Facilitated
      self-organization.
    12. What about me?
      Develop your Project Leadership skills to enable your team to self-organize.
    13. Project Leadership
      is free.
      Project Leadership is your personality, your mouth, your ears and your presence.
    14. Project Leadership.
      Individuals
      Individuals
      Approach
      Goals
      Organization
      Organization
      Alignment by communication.
    15. Goals & Approach
      Goals & Approach.
      Goals and approaches are everywhere.
      Goal: happiness.
      Possible approach:
      school->job->marry->kids
    16. Goals.
      A project has a goal, an objective.
      This is part of the larger context of the goals of the organization.
      .
    17. Individuals have goals.
      Individuals have goals, interests. If peoples goals are met, they work happy; if not, they don’t.
      .
    18. Using goals.
      Job Project Leader is to align the
      goals on all levels.
      Make sure everyone understands.
      .
    19. Approach.
      Approaches are the strategies to reach the goal. The set of rituals, artifacts and values shared among the group, the organization and individual.
      .
    20. Using approach.
      Select an approach that is agreed upon by all parties. (Scrum, waterfall, RUP). Rules must be simple and accessible, so everybody understands.
      .
    21. Project Leadership
      Tasks
      Create alignment: Co-creation
      Keep alignment: Feedback & Coaching
      Environment: Transparency.
    22. Co-creation.
      By defining together goals and approach, you get alignment and involvement.
    23. Feedback.
      If team sees performance, they can adjust themselves.
    24. Coaching.
      Help the team by coaching.
      Don’t just check the team as a cop.
      Lead by example.
    25. Transparency.
      Transparency of the process enables feedback. It also minimizes the risk of political games.
    26. Skills.
      Develop Project Leadership skills to
      get your team to self organize:
      Skills to communicate
      Skills to lead workshops
      Skills to mentor and coach
    27. Thank you.
