Leading from the Middle
Project Managers not only focus on managing projects but also on ‘leading from the middle’. Based on original research carried out by our project management instructional faculty, this course examines how leaders think, how they interact with their teams and how they navigate projects forward and solidify buy-in to build momentum. Reviewing the nuances and subtlety of leadership, this course provides a practical review of what effective leaders physically do that their peers are missing.
