About this Course

Leadership is a function of our personal capabilities – courage, taking responsibility, being proactive, inspiring and involving others. Leaders can be found in many guises and different walks of life.

Project managers who help their "clients" (be they internal or external) define the vision and business case of a project go out of their way to deliver the best possible benefits by inspiring and motivating the team to implement that vision.
