This course addresses the Specific Management Challenges associated with leading project teams, where the team is temporary, task focused and includes personnel seconded from other parts of the organisation, or external supplier organisations.
The stages of team development are mapped against the lifecycle of a typical project, and the Leadership Activities associated with each stage of team development are identified. The course looks at how to practically apply different Leadership Styles at different times during the Project Lifecycle, with Delegates participating in the creation of personal action plans, to use on their return to their teams.
