Descripció general i informació rellevant Ultimately, the success or failure of all projects is founded on the “people” component, even in today’s world in which sophisticated technology and software resources are available to manage the intricate processes of any project. Therefore, the project manager must effectively and comfortably wear many different “hats” when managing and leading a project. Many of these hats, or roles, involve the ability to demonstrate people-based leadership skills. The emphasis is on people. This course equips you with the leadership basics and the team facilitation skills you need to manage the human side of projects successfully.
