Don't Go Insane in 2013

Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over again and expecting different results."

 

With 2013 here and many looking ahead, it might be good for leaders to look back at 2012 and ask themselves what was different from 2011.  They also need to look at what results they achieved.  Afterwards, they need to look at themselves in the mirror because they are the ones responsible for those results.

 

Sometimes the issue is execution.  They have a great strategy, but something isn’t working and execution is not a part of their culture. 

 

Sometimes the issue is leadership. People are not engaged because they don’t trust the leaders, the organization or the systems.  Regardless, trust is a major leadership issue that can’t be avoided without it costing the organization speed and money.

 

Sometimes the issue is the people.  They aren’t developed correctly or they are overwhelmed with their whirlwind, projects and just simply haven’t been trained properly on how to do their jobs that well.

 

Regardless of the issue, there are ways to improve in 2013 without having to repeat 2012.  Below is a list of upcoming events for leaders to evaluate FranklinCovey’s Principle-Based methods that help change human behavior.  Contact us today to discuss one of these events below.

Project Management Essentials North American Tour

In more than 50 cities in North America, FranklinCovey will be holding exclusive 3-hour previews of our newest business solution: Project Management Essentials - For the Unofficial Project Manager. We would like to invite you to be one of the first to preview this Project Management Institute accredited workshop in Dallas on Tuesday, February 5th and Oklahoma City  on Friday, Feb 8th, 2013.

Project Management Essentials is designed for unofficial project managers - nearly every knowledge worker in organizations today oversees projects of some size. Not understanding how to do this effectively leads to increased costs, slow results, and damaged relationships between colleagues.

These event are not meant as a complete training solution, but rather an opportunity for industry leaders to evaluate FranklinCovey's new approach to the topic, and discuss if it makes sense to bring the full solution to your organization.

Please contact me directly to RSVP, or if you have any questions.

Thanks for your consideration.

LEARN VALUABLE REAL WORLD SKILLS FROM FRANKLINCOVEY
Today’s knowledge workers have quietly slipped into the role of the unofficial project manager. Stakeholders, scope creep, no formal training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure, costing organizations time, money, and employee morale.

 

People + Process = Success
Project management isn’t just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to project success!

 

 

This overview session is designed for decision-makers and leaders to evaluate the relevance of the Project Management Essentials™ For the Unofficial Project Manager Solution in their organizations.
