MODULE 1MODULE 1

Leadership and People Management for Effective Projects

Introduction

Projects involve people working together within an organisation to create something together that

none of the individuals could create by themselves. Project managers therefore require a

combination of technical, personal and conceptual skills to analyse situations and engage

appropriately with all team members while drawing out their strengths and optimising team

performance. They must display these strong leadership skills throughout the entire project life

cycle in order to successfully reach their project goals.

In this module, you examine various theories and tools regarding leadership and management

concepts (teamwork, diversity, organisational behaviours). You also apply these theories and tools

to the analysis of a project management case study.

This Module will cover:

Leadership styles applicable to project managers

The use of inspiration and power to in�uence projects and project teams

Tools and techniques used to in�uence power

This Module will help you:

Describe the impact of human factors and team dynamics on project management

Explain the types of power project managers can employ to in�uence project teams and project success

Apply leadership styles to the management of projects and project teams
