Organizational success takes effective management skills to not only manage individual projects but also direct the web of complex programs of multiple, interrelated projects, skillfully working with diverse stakeholders, demanding deadlines, and available resources. Focusing on the promotion of leadership for the common good as a project manager adds another level of complexity.  \nCourse participants will improve their capacity to balance the art and science of managing projects by building technical competencies, adopting practices of leadership and self-management, and by focusing on leadership for the common good competencies and abilities to manage complexities, non-linearity, and organic human workplace environments designed to accomplish a task or tasks, produce goods, or provide services.  \nCourse Objectives  \nBy the end of this course students should be able to:  \n1. Develop technical skills to create a project logic system and effectively manage scope, schedule, and resources; collect and analyze data to monitor, evaluate, and control project success.  \n2. Understand and practice leadership skills within a project context by creating a governance system, promoting buy-in, inspiring others through a vision, resolving conflict, communicating effectively, and motivating team members.  \n3. Manage social complexity, design work projects with matrix thinking in mind, and resist linear models that do not properly reflect actual, concrete, iterative and communal work processes when they are successful and well-designed.  \n4. Increase self-management in organizational skills, analytical thinking, time management, and self-awareness.  \n5. Understand practicing leadership for the common good values and  \nparadigms, including how to work with multiple, diverse stakeholders in crosscultural contexts, navigate complex environments, and work with multiple implementing partners.  \nBooks and Materials  \nCroft , Chris.

Thus, for each of the assigned readings found below, it is very important that you follow the proper pedagogical sequence. Please try to avoid coming to class , listening (and attempting to participate), and then reading the chapter or readings assigned that day. Rather, read the assigned chapter or readings for the day/week in question, enter into class familiar with the topic we are covering that day/week and perhaps even with questions prompted by the assigned reading materials. With this sequence, you will get far more from lectures, and you will be positioned to better participated in class and in the learning process.  \nClass Assignments  \nAttendance, Preparation, & Participation: Be present, be prepared, and fully participate in class discussions and activities to earn full points – it is expected that you will always have your camera on and I very much wish for you to participate in the class in a quiet, undisturbed room or place where you can always have your microphone on (unmut","cbCaicbE9amp0z7G","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicbE9amp0z7G","pdf",236836,"English","# Course Description\n## Course Objectives\n## Books and Materials\n## Requirements and Evaluations\n## Class Assignments\n### Attendance, Preparation, & Participation\n### Postmortem Analysis\n### Individual Critical Path Exercises","[{\"question\":\"What competencies does the course aim to develop by the end of the term?\",\"answer\":\"Students develop technical skills for scope, schedule, and resource management, along with leadership abilities such as governance, communication, conflict resolution, and motivation.
