“Leadership is a skill that all should acquire: it is not taught properly in the workplace or in project management, thus, causing unnecessary tensions and crisis in relations amongst employees and stakeholders. It has some theory that we should all apply as prevention measures. ”
Liliane Kambirigi, FAO of the UN - Ghana
"An excellent course, delivered very professionally and supported by an excellent set of materials. The h interaction with the other learners has been very rewarding, stimulating and inspiring."
David Luigi Fuschi, BRIDGING Consulting Ltd - UK
"LPM is quite an intensive but satisfying course even for the seasoned professional project leaders. It connects a lot of dots asserting what leadership in development projects is about compared to management per se and elaborates on the underlying theories, skills, and styles which does assist for you to develop , recognise and practice your particular leadership model. The team leadership dimensions are extensively discussed and the conflict management and resolution lectures are exhaustive. Finally we would appreciate the heavy emphasis on communications skills and its leveraging to address stakeholder relations and negotiations from the angle of project leadership. I was able to connect the dots. "
