How Do You Lead Your Project to Success?
… by effective project management, i.e., project and team leadership
                                                             Hubble rescue mission
Effective project management needs to
have a solid foundation
in project    and team leadership.
Without leadership there is no direction in
project management.
                                                    Project Success


                              Team Leadership
is the decisive factor in improving the chances for a project to succeed.
Without team leadership chances are that a project will be “just another
project”.

Leadership Principles for Project Success
    Principle 1: Build a Common Project Vision


    “The reason most people never
    reach their goals is that they don't
    define them, or ever seriously
    consider them as believable or
    achievable.
    Winners can tell you where they
    are going, what they plan to do
    along the way, and who will be
    sharing the adventure with them.”


    Denis Watley

 Ensuring ongoing interim results is important because …



 Ongoing project results serve as a reflection                of leadership
     and how well the 5 principles are practiced.

 They reveal the true   quality of collaboration, performance,

Effective project management needs to
have a solid foundation
in project    and team leadership.
Without leadership there is no direction in
project management.
                                                    Project Success


                              Team Leadership
is the decisive factor in improving the chances for a project to succeed.
Without team leadership chances are that a project will be “just another
project”.
