Napoleon in Projectland: LinkedIn LIVE with Guru Jerry

You may have heard about Ridley Scott’s new film, Napoleon, an epic adventure on a grand scale (give or take some poetic license). But did you know there are timeless lessons in leadership, planning, and execution we can learn from this legendary figure who’s had a staggering array of accomplishments and an equally notable downfall?  Let’s explore the art of leadership and project management as seen through the successes and failures of one of history’s greatest leaders, Napoleon Bonaparte. Gain the ultimate advantage through this colorful approach to learning the skills needed for success in today’s workplace.  Learn to apply the wisdom of this military leader in your own personal and professional spheres of influence.  In this lively session, we will gain valuable insights from Napoleon’s rise and fall and apply them to modern-day leadership and project management, addressing the following questions:  1. What can Napoleon teach us about the art and science of project management and leadership? Why Napoleon? 2. What research, record-keeping, and organization methods did Napoleon use that I can apply to my projects for better results? 3.
