Bridging the gap between project management and project leadership

In today’s business environment, it’s not enough to plan and manage large, complex projects. Project leaders must be able to inspire their teams to achieve unprecedented results. They must reach across organizational boundaries to involve key stakeholders in the success of the project at every turn. Further, leaders must demonstrate added value long after the project has ended.

In this workshop, you will learn how to more effectively lead projects. This workshop is designed to show you how to improve participation and engagement of team members and key stakeholders. It also will deal with the disruptions that invariably appear in designing and implementing large-scale projects.

INFLUENCING ACTION THROUGH COMMUNICATION

Whether dealing with associates, managers, staff members or crews, the way you speak and listen as a leader plays a critical role in your ability to get results. Often we think of communication as a one-way street – "I speak, you listen"; or worse, "You do what I want you to do." Today’s business world, however, calls for influencing action through winning the hearts and minds of other people - up, down, across and outside your organization.

NOTE: This course includes video taping and coaching.
