The Project Management Podcast - Boost Your Project Management Soft Skills | Episode 136

https://www.pm-podcast.com/136 - In the 2009 PM Podcast Listener Survey you told us that you wanted a) More product reviews and b) More PM soft skills. In this episode we combine these two requests in about 30 minutes. I'm welcoming Margaret Meloni, PMP who has been a guest many times on our program before. And from those interviews you know that Margaret is a great teacher of project management soft skills. In January of 2010 Margaret is offering almost all of her products with up to a 50% discount. So this episode is a combination of a) product review and b) discussion of PM soft skills. We talk about Margaret's products, interjected with a lot of soft skills talk. In particular, during our discussion Margaret answers the following questions sent in live from Twitter: @bba747: q for margaret: what are her top 3 techniques to quickly identify the motivating agents of project team members? @tcsprasan: Which is the most important soft skill a PM must have? @splett: is there any chance of success in project management without Knowledge - just pm by Social skills? #mm {Note:Margaret's answer to this question is at the very, very, very end of the podcast. So listen all the way to the absolute end.} And Margaret also gives us an overview of EQ - Emotional Intellingence. This is the very first time that we are producing a show that has a strong focus on products for you to buy and improve your skills. Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on the result.
