September 26, 2007 – Project leadership and team skills play an essential part in developing an organization that is fit to meet the demands of the future. Many managers now recognise that an inconsistent approach to project management across their organisation is undermining their potential for success. Definitions of project terms, leadership of projects and the management of project progress can be interpreted differently in different departments. This can lead to misunderstandings and stress when critical deadlines are not met.
