Transformational Leadership in
Project Management

The Insights Transformational Leadership in Project Management workshop is designed to transform practitioners of project and portfolio managers into leaders by evolving self-awareness, expanding capability and effectiveness at leading self, teams and groups, and the organization along with developing their emotional competence. Participants will receive a highly customized Transformational Leadership profile* to gain insight into their strengths and challenges in eight dimensions of leadership: Leading Change, Creating a Compelling Vision, Communicating with Impact, Fostering Teamwork, Facilitating Development, Leading From Within, Agile Thinking and Delivering Results.

Leading in the project management environment is increasingly complex. In one recently research study**, participants reported that 94% of the projects are “somewhat important” or “important” to the organization’s strategy yet 42% indicate their projects are going “OK” or worse. The top challenges cited by project managers surveyed included influencing and negotiating, fostering creativity and innovation, managing ‘up the chain’ (stakeholders and sponsors) and advocating change.
