15 Attributes of the Most Successful Project Managers—Online

Lessons and Learning Objectives

Online Course Overview

Have you ever wondered what the difference between an average project manager and a great project manager might be? Is it experience, motivation, education, people skills—or something else? And if you could find out what these differences are and learn to apply them throughout your career as a project manager, would it be worth 14 hours of your time?

Many project managers try to manage projects relying primarily on their people skills first, then learning the science of project management as they go. But most do not realize that Project Management is both a science AND an art. This course follows that line of thinking by taking you even further, by giving you a chance to acquire the 15 attributes of the most effective project managers in the world.

Imagine a course that benefits from 15 years of research, hundreds of presentations and infinite updates—and you will begin to realize the valuable insights you will receive in this course. What exactly makes the best project managers "the best?" What makes a project manager worth U.S. $500,000 a year? Not for the faint of heart, this intensive e-learning course designed by Rita Mulcahy will answer these questions, and help you acquire the skills of the most successful project managers.
