Project Leadership Essentials course at the college of the rockies - sign up Thursday (I want this course to run! It looks interesting) Heres the extended description... Purpose: Project Leadership Essentials, is a one day (Feb 3) introductory module that enables project managers/leaders to deliver successful projects on time, on budget and in scope. This course will provide participants with an understanding of project leadership as well as skills in using project leadership tools and templates. You will become aware of the criticality of determining what the need for the project may be and to consider multiple solutions to the customer or client need. Project Leadership Essentials will challenge your views of the project manager/leader. Clearly, project managers need to manage but they also must lead. This course will provide participants with an understanding of general leadership theory and relate it to the project environment. In addition to the general and current views on leadership and management you will learn how to influence others when you have neither the positional power nor legitimate authority.
