This presentation or webinar will briefly introduce participants to five personality dimensions that can affect the likelihood of project management success: communication apprehension, innovativeness, self-monitoring, conflict management, and change initiation. We will explore each area in turn by looking at how that personality trait affects project performance and techniques project managers can use to improve their performance. I will give specific measures project managers can use to assess their approach to each personality trait. This will allow them to adapt their project management techniques to improve the likelihood of project success.

Andrew Chellinsky has managed projects for nine years ranging from no-budget non-profit community transformation projects to multi-million dollar defense systems and state health projects. After noticing that project success often stems from a project manager’s soft skills, he pursued a PhD where he studied how personality dimensions affect the likelihood of a project’s success. Using this research as a foundation, he is working to help project managers enhance their soft skills in measurable ways to improve project performance.
