The federal CIO’s 25-point plan has signaled a shift in program and project managers’ roles from providers of support to leadership. In this era of transparency and accountability, a project manager’s ability to lead a crossfunctional team throughout a project’s entire life cycle has never been more crucial.

Participants begin the course with an assessment of their own leadership styles to master the basics of these leadership competencies.
