Course Description
This course aims at assisting project managers, assistant project managers, and team members working in a functional (hierarchical) and a non-hierarchical environment involving team members from various functional units. Project Managers working in diverse environments and across various functional units have to acquire specific leadership skills to ‘better sell’ their project objectives to their teams. They should also develop special skills to foster the performance of their teams as well as individually deal with team members for better career development. The course is sub-divided into three parts addressed in three separate days focusing on three primary areas: leadership, Team Performance Management, and People Development. The course also primarily includes workshops and activities to help participants better understand their roles’ expectations and to develop specific skills to deal with challenging situations in various project environments.
