The keys to being a good project leader!
It is important to keep abreast of the evolution of project management and its application, to stay on top of the best practices in order to apply them to make the project team more efficient,
This is why we sometimes speak more of a project leader than a project manager. This training on the project leader addresses the different aspects that allow a project leader to stand out from the crowd. In addition to his hard skills, he must develop his soft skills in order to manage the technical aspects of the project as well as the people involved.
This training will show you what the role of a good project leader is and what the stakeholders' expectations are of him. You will be able to identify the skills you need to develop in order to be successful in this role!

Training content
In this training to move from project manager to project leader, participants will see:
1 The role of the project leader
While the project manager masters the technical skills of project management (building a schedule, setting up a call for tenders, monitoring the budget, reporting on progress), the project leader develops related skills (collaboration, communication, data analysis, conflict management, change management, etc.), which will allow him/her to assume a role that is broader than simple project management.
2 Skills to be developed
It is important to develop the interpersonal skills needed to effectively facilitate meetings, encourage feedback, strengthen commitment, ensure mobilization, demonstrate critical thinking skills, and provide practical or moral support to team members... The project leader does not focus solely on the requirements and deliverables!
3 Emotional intelligence
If it is essential to understand a schedule when you are a project leader, it is equally important to understand emotions. How they impact relationships and collaboration. The project leader must therefore acquire the tools to be able to manage his or her emotions and those of others, to ensure a healthy and balanced work environment.
4 Stress management skills
Situations of tension or friction in the course of a project are not rare. The good project manager must be able to transform inhibiting stress into action driving stress.
