June 2021: Project Leadership
Successful project managers must be adept at building trust, negotiating win-win outcomes, encouraging productivity, and resolving conflict among project team members. In addition, identifying individual values and boundaries, establishing clear decision-making protocols, and using appropriate decision strategies are all project leadership requirements within the project team.
This interactive course covers the art of leadership in the project team and provides students with the skills and tools needed to develop their own leadership style.
Week 1: When Shift Happens: How to Lead Project Teams Through Competing Priorities
Change is constant and it impacts the way we work together. This section will explore the evolving role of the project leader and how the right leadership approach can help a team work with competing priorities.
Week 2: We need to talk: How to Mindfully Resolve Conflicts Using Emotional Intelligence
Conflict can mean different things to different individuals. Contrary to popular opinion, conflict is also the birthplace of learning, growing, and adapting to change. This section will explore how to navigate conflicts both with self and with others, as a leader. From there, we will utilize emotional intelligence to sharpen our conflict management skills.
Week 3: Together, we are stronger: How Project Leaders Can Drive Inclusion at Work
IQ drives skills, EQ drives culture. Project Leaders have a unique way of impacting the culture of the workplace because of how they work with cross functional teams. This section will explore the barriers to inclusion and share insights on how a culture of inclusion can be co-created.
Each 2-hour lesson is presented virtually. Participants will have homework to complete between lessons.
