Creating a Leader: An American Story: May 2025 Chapter Meeting Summary By Mike Ososki, PMP It’s a gigantic topic, pervasive and powerful throughout the millenia: leadership. So Dr. Abhay Trivedi and CEO Andrew Russell wrote a book about it, sourcing from the specific perspective that leadership is to bring out the best in others. And to achieve this, you must be selfless, have integrity, and maybe most important of all, “raise your inner self.”
But the reality for many organizations is not so pretty: too many changes in top management, rigid corporate policies, short-term perspective, and money focus vs. human value all contribute instead to commoditization and mediocrity. Leaders are responsible for vision, strategy, change management, talent acquisition, perception, integrity, and principles—so much! In Dr. Trivedi’s opinion, “leaders need to create a culture of complete transparency.” This includes openness, with everyone feeling free to share and collaborate, discuss any ideas with peers and supervisors, openly offer construction criticism. And no criticizing behind people’s backs. 
Volunteering for PMI Atlanta has many benefits, including PDU credits, networking, and gaining experience to utilize in your career. We have the following exciting volunteer positions available. Please review and take a moment to submit an application if you are interested.
