How to Become a Leader on a Project

Leadership in Project Management is a complicated topic by itself. Moreover, you need to learn how to integrate these concepts together naturally. Neither of them is self-sufficient.

Your ultimate goal as a Project Manager is to make people:

  1. Feel ownership for the project.
  2. Love to work with you.
  3. Feel valued.
  4. Follow your example.
  5. Feel the impact they have on the project.

But there is a catch:

For leadership to work you need three components:

  1. A leader who made conscious decision to lead
  2. Compelling common interest to follow
  3. People

In Project Management there is a severe lack of compelling common interest. So you need to find a cause interesting for your team member and aligned with benefits required by the project.
