Research also shows that over 80% of high performing organizations believe that the most important skill for project managers to manage complex projects is leadership. Are the project management issues in your organisation related to lack of tools, techniques and processes or are they concerned with poor leadership (by either the project manager or sponsor) and an insufficient ability to influence and engage the stakeholders and the team?

Project leadership is about doing the right thing, and that sometimes means telling the unpleasant truth and saying things the way they are. One of the most important prerequisites for building great professional relationships with team members and stakeholders is trust. Without trust it’s impossible for a project to function effectively as people are unlikely to open up, collaborate and follow someone who they feel they can’t rely on. Trust is essential for working together.

It seems to be nothing more than a tool to fill a void in leadership? After nearly 30 years of project work, I struggle to understand the role of a project management office (PMO). Even though, I have written of the pros and cons , and read a plethora of articles, opinions, and how-to guides little has been done to convince me that the PMO is reducing project failure. Even the acronym, which is so widely thrown around, has little meaning as the "P" has no less than four meanings.

Authenticity is a fundamental building block in project leadership. Leadership doesn’t come from emulating others or from blindly following a set of rules. If you don’t understand what the purpose of your leadership is, and what you big “why” is, you will be easily influenced – not just by external events and other people’s opinions – but also by your own emotions and impulses.

Weak Leadership. “It might be a good idea to add this feature.” ” “Let’s extend the test cycle so we have more data.” ” “I hate adding to your work but can you…?” ” These sentences, once uttered, herald the onset of every project manager’s recurring nightmare — that phenomenon of a project ballooning in size and scope, while budgets and timelines remain the same. It’s called scope creep. And it’s deadly.

This post discusses four myths about leadership–and particularly project leadership–that simply aren’t true (or certainly not across the board). This is an unfortunate cultural stereotype that has–and still is–prevalent in all areas of the workplace, not solely leadership roles. I don’t think anyone is a natural born leader, but that leadership is a learned process as well as a result of your environment and experiences. Leaders are loud, strong, bold and connected.
