Description

Tom Kasel, 2019 recipient of the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation (PMIEF) Kerzner Award for Excellence in Project Management, presents his perceptions and interpretations of the 'The Evolving Project Manager'.

In his session, Tom shares a historical perspective of the project management profession, noting the formation of the Project Management Institute (PMI). He travels a theoretical journey that transcends PMI leadership styles of transactional and transformational leadership perspectives.He continues this discussion by noting the need for additional theoretical migration to Values-Based Leadership-an emerging concept that addresses the cultural, spiritual, political needs and diversity of today's global markets. Tom looks to inspire the PM community with his observations, which have the potential to transition the industry by focusing on universal - individual values, beliefs (The 'Cosmic Core') and practices.
