Overview
Many project engineers and managers believe that people assigned to projects will automatically be as productive as possible because they are professionals and they are “supposed to”. The reality, however, is often much different because levels of individual commitment are based upon the team member’s perceptions of shared risks, rewards, threats, and opportunities. This course teaches participants very simple and highly effective methods of communicating those shared risks, rewards, etc. for maximum team productivity.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
You will need Microsoft's PowerPoint software to view this course. PowerPoint can be purchased at many retail outlets, as well as through the website microsoft.com.
