About This Course

Successful project delivery depends on more than effective plans and processes. Project leaders must also bring people together, communicate clearly, manage competing expectations and make commercially informed decisions.

This practical one-day course builds on existing project-management knowledge and focuses on the leadership skills needed to guide project teams successfully. Through realistic scenarios and practical tools, participants will explore team dynamics, communication, conflict, motivation, stakeholder engagement, budget control and scope management. They will leave with techniques they can apply immediately within their own projects.

Course Outline

The course combines practical project-leadership tools with the people and commercial skills needed to maintain performance and successful delivery.

  • Understand project team dynamics and create the conditions required for collaboration, accountability and consistent performance.
  • Clarify project roles, responsibilities and expectations using RACI matrices, SMART goals and other practical tools.
  • Develop communication plans and strengthen active listening, questioning and collaboration across project teams.
  • Identify common causes of conflict and use negotiation, facilitation and problem-solving techniques to resolve disagreements constructively.
  • Motivate team members, delegate responsibilities clearly and maintain engagement throughout project delivery.
  • Understand how project decisions affect costs, budgets, resources and wider organisational priorities.
  • Assess commercial risks, manage change requests and prevent scope creep from affecting costs, timescales or delivery.
  • Map stakeholder influence, manage expectations and approach meetings and challenging conversations with confidence.

Who should attend

This course is suitable for project managers, project team leaders, programme coordinators and operational managers who are responsible for leading people and delivering projects.

It is particularly valuable for professionals who already understand the fundamentals of project management and want to strengthen their leadership, stakeholder-management and commercial skills.
