Introduction
Project Leadership workshop teaches project managers the behavioral skills necessary to improve their ability to lead their project teams more effectively. Project Leadership is a three-day, classroom-based workshop which is designed to be delivered via a problem-centered approach. Participants will be presented with a project leadership issue in the form of a video-based case study.

They will then use their problem solving skills to identify issues presenting the situation and discuss ways to further diagnose and/or solve the problem. Participants will also take over a simulated project and apply their project management skills to completing the project.
