“What makes Project Leadership different from Project Management?”
The strategy execution and project delivery environments are very different from operational management.
Project leadership is a specific challenge for the following reasons:
- The goalposts change frequently as stakeholders, suppliers and customers learn more about the work and refine their positions;
- Team members don’t work directly for you so you are leading across a matrix, and probably virtual teams as well;
- There are daily difficult decisions as you navigate the unknown and put out fires with your team;
- Multilingual and multicultural teams add a different dimension and the potential for additional unintentional conflict;
- There is barely enough time in the day to manage the project, let alone develop everyone and yourself; and,
- And there is always the problem of creating buy-in!
If you want to overcome these challenges in project leadership then The PM PrepCast Leadership Academy is for you!
“I don’t have time to watch the interviews.”
We know and totally hear you! Project managers are a very busy bunch.
That’s why this series is different. Because you can take it anytime you want!
Stream The PM PrepCast Leadership Academy at your own convenience. Each conversational interview is split into manageable pieces so you can listen to it during your lunch break, commute or even while out walking the dog!
“How will I know if these interviews can help me?”
We’ll let Cornelius Fichtner, PMP, answer that for you:
“I thought I knew a lot about leadership having interviewed business leaders for over 20 years, but this masterclass series is something else. I picked up tips and strategies I had never considered before and had plenty of ‘lightbulb’ moments myself. Each conversation was like a personal coaching call.”
While this advanced leadership series is aimed specifically at project, program and portfolio professionals with 2+ years of experience, each listener will take something different away from the conversational interviews, and in doing so will learn new ways of approaching and improving their leadership role.
