The Art and Science of Project Management: Every Project Manager is a Leader 

People rarely attend project management training to hone their leadership skills. But that doesn’t mean they become a better leader from the lessons they learn in our classroom. 

Marco Velarde proposes three big characteristics that all great project managers share. Read his article on MPUG. 

Leadership is a big topic. Project managers definitely need the “soft” skills, such as communication and collaborative problem solving. In Versatile’s project management training we ask how being able to calculate a critical path makes you a better leader. 

“It gives me credibility.” 

“Team members understand urgency.” 

“I can communicate the impact of scope changes to the schedule.” 

“My team sees the big picture.”
