Leading LEADERS

The subject of leadership is an important one for today's workforce and certainly within the project management profession. Leading people is one of the more challenging tasks offered to anyone - in the military, throughout the government and certainly within the private sector.

This presentation will touch on some of the key tenets of leading, of course - but its focus will be on the considerations and requirements of leading LEADERS. Leading people who themselves occupy leadership positions requires a unique perspective and a more tailored approach to setting expectations, providing boundaries and delivering the message.

This discussion will remind those in leadership positions and those who lead them of the importance of knowing the difference between followers and leaders and how to get the best out of everyone.
