Stop Playing Games: A Project Manager's Guide to Successfully Navigating Organizational Politics, full
day seminar by Rick A. Morris
Based on Rick's new book "Stop Playing Games" (RMC Project Management, 2010) Rick identifies and discusses the
day to day world of a Project Manager. Project Managers have the unique ability to find shortcuts or workarounds
in dealing with projects, sponsors, and stakeholders. This seminar will bring to life true issues and fixes to help
Project Managers avoid the games we are forced to play. Through sharing years of experience, Rick will show you
how to get stronger, more process oriented, and more respect for the work you do. Rick will offer real world
advice to help you gain proper techniques that you can immediately use to impact your projects, learn how to
influence without authority, stop end rounding projects and get back to the basics that will help create a Project
Manager that will do the right things the right way.
If you are not familiar with Rick’s style, check out his video for a preview.
