Leading Complex Projects

When it comes to complex projects, unexpected challenges and changing timelines are expected. Great leaders embrace this complexity—they don’t try to control it. They understand that people—the team and stakeholders—are key to successful project outcomes. In this course, you’ll learn how to balance logic and intuition to guide others through the inevitable ups and downs of complex projects. Rather than learning traditional project management tools and tactics, you’ll gain tools for establishing team alignment and discovering what motivates and engages each of your team members so you can empower your team to deliver stronger outcomes. *Note: This course does NOT teach you traditional project management tools and tactics. Instead, it focuses on project leadership and the strengths of your teammates so you can enhance the processes you already use. Course Outcomes Clarify the problem you’re tackling to uncover more effective solutions. Motivate the team to deliver stronger outcomes by using tools to develop a shared understanding and clearly defined purpose for the work. Tap into your intuition and your team’s intuition to make decisions when there is too much or too little information. Design for moments of alignment using different frameworks and activities to gain buy-in from the team and key stakeholders.
