Change your mind- Hartman Value Profile

Speaking to 200 project managers in Denver, Traci Duez, shared how she overcame weaknesses and studied Dr. Hartman's value theory and now administers the Hartman Value Profile to improve individual and team performance.

The secret to changing your bad habits is to ignore them and create new neural networks (value-driven habits), because "the whole idea of fixing weaknesses rather than strengthening strengths is a bit of a dead-end." With more than 12,000 thoughts per person per day, most are rehashed. In order to overcome the inertia of rehashed thoughts, you can overload the brain with thoughts related to your strengths until the training wheels come off and the old neural networks erode.

Ms. Duez demonstrates a similar analogy where conservative-minded problem-solving companies were driven out of business in recession era of 2008, while innovative opportunity-seeking firms were highly successful.

She has more to teach in the area of project management performance than can be presented in one seminar. I would like to revisit and practice the hierarchy of value: Systemic (on/off), Extrinsic (tangible), Intrinsic (people). As you learn to focus on the intrinsic, you will harness the infinite potential of the team.
