Project Managers Perform Many Roles,
Sometimes all at the same time

While each approach requires similar skills, they will be applied differently, creating different results and having a different impact.

This webinar explores each approach using two situations and highlights the three factors to consider in selecting the right approach for any situation: the amount of change, the clarity of the outcome and the closeness of the outcome.

In this webinar you will learn:

• How to determine when you need to be coach, leader or manager
• How to seamlessly swap hats to be coach, leader or manager at the right time
• The differences between applying skills when using each approach
