Join us for our closure event of season 2, a collaborative event of 20-way collaboration between the PMI Chapters of; Mumbai, Czech Republic, Netherlands, South Africa, South Florida, United Kingdom, Sri Lanka, Phoenix, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Gujarat, Lima Peru, Southern Alberta, Sao Paulo, Kenya, Ghana, Greece, Puget Sound, and Poland, while we explore “Emotional Intelligence In Project Management”!
Below are References on or related to Emotional Intelligence provided by session moderator Steve Fullmer.
Greetings and Thank You all for an Incredible Experience during today’s collaborative effort!
As promised at the end of the presentation I have prepared an initial list of reading material addressing topics related to Emotional Intelligence, Social Intelligence, and related cognitive processes.
The list is far from comprehensive, though serves as a starting point for anyone desiring a better understanding of the individual and social systems that both limit and enable human potential.
As a founding member and ambassador for the Institute for Neuro and Behavioral Project Management (initially supporting graduate studies in neuro-behavioral systems at Northwestern University), I am delighted to share a link that each of you may use or share with today’s attendees.

The link will allow you to register for free at the new website established this month. Through the website you may obtain free access to research, articles, videos, webinars, and podcasts being aggregated by the Institute for Neuro and Behavioral Project Management. Results are being gathered across sciences and from around the world. Topics address behavioral psychology and modern scientific results. More importantly the results dispel centuries old psychology theories, and provide 21st century application. Some of the most amazing discoveries are being revealed weekly due to tools like fMRI that enable real-time studies of the neural systems behind human behavior.
(Note that I am merely a supporter and contributor based on my neuro-sociology research during the past decade, and my career path developing project management instruction. I gain nothing from anyone’s participation other than additional knowledge.)
Please share the invitation and link, as well as the following reading list with anyone interested or stimulated by today’s discussion.
