Effective management of project teams (remote training)

Modern organizations are outdoing themselves in implementing new project management systems. While they structure the work, they do not guarantee the success of the tasks performed. Project management requires a skill set that goes beyond the rigid roadmap contained in popular methodologies. While everyone is focused on creating management schemes, instructions and templates for correct action, you invest in intuition and practical soft skills. The training is based on a package of issues from the intersection of psychology and management that facilitate the smooth operation of project teams. With the ability to recognize the operating style of individual team members, you will learn how to better motivate them and how to assign them the tasks they will perform most efficiently. You will also gain the knowledge necessary to conduct coaching conversations efficiently, evaluate work and prevent conflicts.
