If you have ever been interested to delve into the inner-workings of project management or to consider how trust plays a role in full-functioning teams then you may be interested to attend the February 19, 2007 Huron Valley PMI Chapter meeting. I am presenting on the ‘Absence of Trust, the First Dysfunction’. This is taken from Patrick Lencioni’s book, The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team, and focuses on trust as the first and underlying dysfunction. We will explore how the absence of trust may affect the other dysfunctions; Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment, Avoidance of Accountability, and Inattention to Results, and brainstorm on ways to address trust within a workgroup. The chapter’s website is: http://www.pmi-hvc.org/Lists/Events/AllItems.aspx . You can pre-register or simply register at the door. There is a $15 fee for this meeting which includes scintillating discussion and light hors d’oeuvres.
Hope to see you there.
It was a great event–good presentation that facilitated useful interactions with other meeting attendees and much food for thought. I heard through the grapevine that it was one of the highest rated programs at PMI-HVC since they started recording evaluations. Congratulations.
