As the project management profession continues to increase in complexity, there is a high demand for Leaders. With the changing business climate, the yardstick for measurement is the emotional competence of Project Managers and Leaders.  Leadership excellence cannot be achieved by technical competence but by character and Emotional Intelligence. Successful project management follows.

In today’s changing business environment, project managers not only need to manage global, virtual and multi-cultural projects, but also establish a direction and align with the organization vision.  Successful leadership is a dynamic process requiring both cognitive and emotional competencies.  The globalization of the workplace and the business environment puts special premium on Emotional Intelligence for project managers. Several studies demonstrate that strong leadership style and emotional intelligence leads to the success in implementing large and complex global initiatives.
