Course description
Leading People for Successful Projects™
Leading People for Successful Projects™ develops organizational savvy and leadership skills project leaders need to complete projects on time and within budget.
Much of the most important work in your organization gets done via projects. Personal and organizational success therefore rests, in large measure, on project success. The problem is, projects don’t always succeed. Even superbly qualified project teams may find themselves shackled by scope creep, resource depletion, lack of teamwork, or unexpected shifts in project specs. Strong project leaders steer their project teams clear of such obstacles. They skillfully interact with team members, as well as key stakeholders, to drive projects to their intended destinations, on time and within budget.
This course can also be offered virtually. Get in touch to learn more.
