Session Overview
The Manitoba Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) and ISACA Winnipeg are pleased to present a great opportunity to hear an exceptional speaker, talk to others who are involved with project management and project audit, and enjoy a relaxed evening with dinner and a cash bar.
Is it leadership or management that is most needed for successful projects in this century? This is a crucial question being addressed by most organizations.
Leadership is a subset of management. In general terms, leadership is an ability to get things done through others while winning their respect, confidence, loyalty, willing cooperation and commitment. It involves focusing the efforts of a group of people toward a common goal and inspiring them to work as a real team.
Leading is not necessarily the same as managing. In comparison to managing, leading is much broader in scope. In a project environment, all project managers are not necessarily leaders, but the most effective project managers over the long-term prove to be good leaders as well. Both project leadership and management are important because leadership emphasizes communicating the vision and then motivating and inspiring project participants to deliver higher performance, while management focuses on getting things done. Can the two be reconciled?
This presentation will describe the difference between a leader and a manager and the importance of balancing both to achieve overall project success as the project progresses through its project life cycle. Practical tips will be presented to enhance leadership skills.
