Leading and Managing Teams

Abstract

This chapter tackles one of the most important skills project managers must have: demonstrating leadership and managing teams. The core competencies of a good project manager are rooted in the ability to demonstrate emotional intelligence under pressure.

Evaluating performance, tracking progress, and managing expectations are also discussed throughout the chapter.
