Leadership in Projects
[our course Leadership in Projects]
To lead projects and take on the role as project manager could be compared with being the CEO of a temporary organization. Despite the fact that a project manager does not have the same formal mandate as a CEO, one is often still expected to take on similar responsibilities within the scope of a project, such as being responsible for several different departments and the impact of the project results in the whole organization. Like a lateral form of leadership, without any hierarchical power. Leadership in projects significantly impacts the realization of strategy and its adherence within the company, as well as the functioning of the project organization (including through “lessons learned”). We know, from experience, that it requires specific skills to navigate a complex organization with a variety of communication styles, hierarchies, and expressions of organizational culture.
