Project leadership should not strictly focus on logistics. Your project leaders should be able to motivate your project team, build relationships, and sustain the performance of the team throughout every project.

Use the Project Leadership Assessment (PLA) as an innovative learning instrument for evaluating participants' leadership behaviors across five vital skill areas. This learning tool is perfect for anyone who has project management responsibilities, regardless of their title or reporting relationship to the project team.

The Project Leadership Assessment is designed to help project leaders focus on more than just logistics. It encourages them to motivate their team, build positive relationships, and create a collaborative work environment. This approach ensures that projects are not only completed on time and within budget but also with high-quality results.

Using a current company project as a mental reference, participants respond candidly to a 25-item assessment. The Observer Form then provides participants with an honest perspective on their project leadership skills. This combination creates the most accurate picture of a project leader's effectiveness. An activity and action planning sequence then allows project leaders to identify actions for building their strengths and improving less-developed skills.
