James Reckon - The Care and Feeding of the Project Team Through the Eyes of a Recovering Theatrical Stage Manager

PDUs Awarded: 1 - Leadership

Abstract: 

Who loves cupcakes? Project teams love cupcakes! Paul Glen, in his book “Leading Geeks” discusses how “knowledge” workers are motivated differently. Many highly technical people prefer to work individually and are not inclined to participate in teams. How do we bridge the gap between the social with the reclusive?

James’ previous experience as a theatrical stage manager is filled with creating esprit de corps with producers, directors, actors, designers and running crews. Each group has a stake in the production, but is motivated in diverse ways. The same holds true for project teams. Motivation is a key to success, but how we motivate each group to be part of the team is very important. The Care and Feeding of a Project Team presents, through previous experiences and in-class exercises, some tools and techniques to help all project team members feel valued and inspired to excel.
