On September 17/18th, 2013 ~ A People Leadership Learning Experience: Beyond Managing Projects. A Two-day Intensive Seminar.There’s a big difference between managing projects and leading people. For many marketers, the transition to people leadership gets little attention. Who sits down with you and asks; ‘What’s your people plan?’ Leading people is about having good communication skills, quality briefings and the ability to give feedback. But, how do you help your people manage their behaviour, especially during those difficult conversations?
People leadership is a process of understanding your strengths and leveraging them to bring out the best in others. It’s also about bigger outcomes than the hard skills of meeting program budgets and deadlines. It’s about having an eye on the future and leveraging your soft skills to move quickly from project manager to people solutions provider.
