Leading without formal authority
Taking on a project leadership role can feel like managing a temporary organization. Although project leaders may lack the formal authority of a manager, they are often expected to take on a similar level of responsibility, coordinating across various departments within an organization. This requires lateral leadership skills where communication, collaboration, and strategic alignment are essential.
