Leadership Skills for the Project Professional

Leadership Skills for the Project Professional (LSPP) is a two day, instructor-facilitated, learning course designed to develop the leadership attributes of the project/program management practitioner. The basic premise of the course is to facilitate the migration from a manager to a leader in the project or program environment.

This course is part of:

The Project Leadership Series^SM

What you will learn

Because the project/program manager serves as the primary liaison between organizational leadership (i.e., upper management) and the project team, he/she must possess and employ the soft skills (“artistic” vs. scientific) required to lead a team. In this course, participants will be introduced to common leadership principles that must be applied in the project environment. After an introduction to the better practices for each learning unit, course attendees will apply these principles via relevant individual and team exercises.

Topics areas include:

Characteristics of a Manager vs. a Leader	Roles and Responsibilities Clarity
Leading Virtual / Matrix Teams	Situational Leadership
Delegation	Communications Leadership
Conflict Management Resolution	Coaching and Mentoring
Strategic Planning and Change	Motivation and Inspiration

Who should attend

This course will benefit resource managers, functional managers, project / program managers that serve in any leadership capacity associated with project or program delivery.
