Project leaders and their teams are change enablers, working in the irrational and unpredictable world of projects, programmes and change management. They enact and facilitate change often working in high pressure, complex situations carrying the potential to unlock the value of any strategic change initiative and digital transformation.
Project leaders want to remain calm and decisive and maximise the creativity and potential of their team. Putting others’ needs first to maintain motivation, build momentum and overcome, and minimise risks and obstacles. They want to effectively communicate and remain connected to the vision and business goals of the project whilst allowing the team to focus on the immediate, priority tasks at hand.
They are accountable and empowered and not afraid to fail fast, reflect and realign in order to be responsive to the evolving nature of their environments.
They want to create a positive, delivery focussed culture of collaboration and optimal performance and above all, create impact.
That is why we believe they deserve and require the highest quality leadership support and development solutions available!
Project leaders are vital to any project team yet specialist leadership support and performance development for leaders within projects can seem like a distant priority with many of the following barriers getting in the way:
Time: The feeling of not enough time or opportunity to step away from the mission by project leaders. Similarly, Directors responsible for Projects don’t want to saddle project leaders with ‘time hungry’ leadership development programmes.
Budget: Technical accreditations burning through the development budget leaving little left for vital human-centric project leadership development. Whilst technical capabilities are no doubt important to project leaders, the human elements of change management can be more fundamental to the success of their role and in turn optimise the culture and performance of their teams and programmes for which they are responsible.
Quality: The unique and dynamic project environment can move leaders into accepting lower quality ‘quick and dirty’ tick-box support and development solutions which may not be as impactful.
Flexibility: Traditional leadership development can require extended periods away from the mission with a rigid structure not reflective of the dynamic and agile nature of the project landscape.
Focus: Project leaders can be drawn into fire-fighting, managing processes and joining technical specialists at the coalface of the programme. This can deflect focus from the wider aspects of project leadership including risk management and mitigation, stakeholder engagement and crucially team culture and performance.
Project leaders require leadership support and development that is as agile as the teams they lead and our principles of experiential, interactive development ensure our partnerships evolve and develop alongside your real world challenges and the scenarios you surface.
We design bespoke solutions that are time and cost effective, flexing to your needs using the Questline toolkit – focussing on 5 specific human-centric areas:
INSIGHT: Raising awareness and driving data-backed insight through personal and emotional intelligence assessments (DISC, Facet 5, Genos_EI).
COLLABORATION & CULTURE: Enhancing communications and strengthening culture through facilitated interactive peer-group workshops (topics based around your unique situation), action learning sets and systemic team coaching.
MPACT: Creating more Impact as a Project Leader through specialist 1:1 performance coaching and Executive coaching.
