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
