The Entrapment of Time - Regain Your Freedom

Whether in a business or personal situation, it is our mind and our thoughts (constantly produced at over 300 words a minute) that have the creative power to manifest our reality. It is therefore essential that we gain the power over our thoughts to begin to realise the potential we have to consciously create our experience. Success in business and in life depends on it! However, it is unfortunate that a major stumbling block for each of us is the preoccupation that our minds have with past events – the ones that are emotionally charged; the ones that hurt. We seem entrapped in a time warp of past events. So let’s examine how we can regain our freedom from this entrapment so that we can live in the now and focus our thoughts on our future.

Integral Project Management – The Next Step in the Development of Project Management Excellence

The collective opinion of project managers consistently identifies leadership, team development and communications at the top of the list of knowledge, skills and attributes required for the performance of successful projects. However, while there is agreement on what is required, the development of project managers and project teams through current approaches to training does not reliably deliver improved performance.

This paper looks outside of the project management profession to current developments in the disciplines of philosophy and psychology for some new thinking on how best to address the soft issues in the project environment. Emotional Intelligence and Integral Theory are examined as the foundation for a new approach to more successful projects through the development of Integral Project Management.

The Emotionally Intelligent Project Team

We are all emotional beings and we tend to think, speak and act from an emotional base. We cannot go to work and leave our emotions at home. The project environment is inherently uncertain and pressures will almost certainly arise that stimulate the full range of emotions. How then do we manage emotions in the project environment so that they contribute to project success? If there were such a thing as an emotionally intelligent project team, then how would it behave and what would it look like? Most importantly, how is such a team established, developed and maintained?
