Project managers are expected to manage and satisfy a wide range of senior level stakeholders without having the traditional legitimate authority that leaders typically enjoy. This requires them to make adjustments to work optimally with different—and oftentimes difficult—senior leader personalities, interests, and priorities. To be successful, project managers must become experts at navigating communication styles and work styles.
In this course, corporate trainer Dana Brownlee explores the managing up tactics and techniques that the best project managers use to artfully navigate these six common yet difficult senior leader personality types.
