Achieving Project Results through People
3 days non residential Leading the project teamIn
every area of commerce and industry, managers are increasingly finding
themselves being required to manage projects, both small and large. Your
success as a manager is often measured by your ability to deliver these
projects within the performance criteria of time, cost and quality placed
upon you.
Projects by their nature, are composed of unique,
uncertain and non-repetitive sets of activities; hence they initiate and
involve change. Changes in the project environment are inevitable and can
happen at any time in the life cycle of a project. Projects and people can
be difficult to manage and often cause considerable stress on the project
manager and the project team members. The project is managed more
effectively through teamwork as this encourages people to collaborate and
work interdependently. Most projects require a diverse mix of individuals
who must be integrated into an effective team. You will need specialist
skills, a positive attitude and real commitment to shape those individuals
into a cohesive, productive and successful unit of a project team.
