PC 522 - Leadership and Human Resources Management


The project environment is complex and presents many managerial challenges for both the project manager and his/her team. These complexities and managerial challenges are a direct result of how project teams are formed and the environment they operate in. This environment is characterized by the fact that project teams are temporary endeavors, operate under tight time and cost constraints, staffed by members from different functional organizations, and have multiple internal and external stakeholders and customers. In some cases, the project manager and the team may not possess the authority needed to ensure project success. Because of this complex and challenging environment, it is essential that both the project manager and members of his/her team understand what leadership is and how to exercise it within a project environment. This course introduces students to a variety of leadership concepts and techniques that can be utilized to become effective leaders in a project environment.
