Strong project outcomes depend on more than schedules and budgets; they depend on leadership. This course is built for federal employees who manage or contribute to projects and want to grow from managing tasks to genuinely leading people. You will examine what separates leadership from management, see how the leadership Power Skills in PMI's Talent Triangle and the PMBOK Guide drive project success, and pick up practical ways to navigate the constraints you face every day, from tight budgets and deadlines to uneven team performance.

Across six modules, you will explore leadership models and how organizational structures shape your authority and influence, assess your own leadership style, and assemble a toolkit of emotional intelligence, motivation, communication, and delegation skills. You will study how teams develop and what it takes to lead high-performing ones, then apply it all to realistic case scenarios. By the end, you will be ready to lead project teams with greater confidence, clarity, and impact in your federal workplace.
