Leadership, Management, and Communication of Technical Projects

Your company wants to develop special leadership-oriented resources for project managers in its new project management office. This is a complex topic due to a wide variety of recognized, mainstream styles of leadership combined with different team situations across projects and within the same project from stage to stage. 

• What would you do to prevent clash of leadership styles from impacting your organization’s proposed new leadership initiative negatively and why?
• How does management of a project differ from management of a program that consists of several inter-related projects?
• What project communication methods and tools will be appropriate in this case? 

In your own words, post a substantive response to the Discussion Board question(s) and comment on other postings.  Your response should address the DB question(s) and move the conversation forward.  You will be graded on the quality of your postings, including mastery of the concept as well as critical thinking.  If asked for your opinion, do not simply state that it is a good or bad idea; elaborate on your reasons and argument. Include enough detail to substantiate your thinking as well as your position on the questions or comments.
