Project Leadership & Management

Transform from Project Manager to Project Leader

Project leadership refers to the capability of guiding a team towards successful project completion. Project leaders bring people together to achieve a common goal and accomplish more than they could as individuals.

Organisations face change and disruption in many ways, which can feel unsettling for stakeholders and project teams. It is up to project managers to take a stand and develop the essential leadership skill set to motivate, inspire, energise and guide people to innovate processes and execute plans with strategic impact.

This diploma in leadership and management offers a university-backed curriculum taught by 10 industry experts and three credentials to help you develop the ability to make effective decisions while engaging and empowering teams in different organisational cultures. It's time to take your career one step further, refine your leadership and management styles and discover who you are as a project leader.

This course examines the capabilities, attitudes and behaviours needed to become a confident, driven and focused project leader. Classes are delivered in an engaging manner, combining a practical framework with inspirational stories from real-industry practitioners and academics.
