Lead Anywhere: Master Matrix and Remote Teams

In today’s cross-functional, high-speed, multilocation and high-demand project environments, the ability to be successful has never been more difficult (and failure more public!). The Project Leadership Workshop helps managers of all backgrounds become true leaders. Many of us who lead projects earned the responsibility by being high performers in previous projects. Yet, we all know somebody who was a great technician or great worker but did not make the best project manager/leader. Those individuals, however, are not always at fault. They may never have been trained in the core competencies of project management or given the tools needed to lead a project and its staff.

Beyond the usual leadership issues, in projects, we need to deal with the additional stresses of team members who do not report to the project manager, team members who come from different departments, various divisions or locations (both near and far), team members with priorities that do not align with those of the project, and many more. Leading a matrix or cross-functional task force is much different than leading a fixed team. The practical tools, techniques and concepts provided here are reinforced and practiced with real-world project situations, exercises and checklists. A major goal of this workshop is to prepare participants to readily apply key leadership and management concepts in their projects.
