As soon as you get your own project team to lead, you will need to develop the craft of project team leadership. In this video, I share five of my best tips.

Tip 1: Direction
At the outset, your team needs clear direction
As they mature, let them direct themselves

Tip 2: Support
Support relationship building when it’s needed
Then get out of the way

Tip 3: Demeanor
Never underestimate the impact that your demeanour will have on your team.

Tip 4: Motivation
Intrinsic Motivation trumps Extrinsic Motivation. To motivate your team, give them:
Clear purpose
Autonomy to make choices
Opportunity to develop mastery of what they are doing
An environment of respect
Recognition for their contributions
A chance to build strong relationships

Tip 5: Feedback
Give team members feedback on their performance.
Do it to give them a BOOST. Make your feedback:
Balanced between criticism and confirmation
Observed based on evidence
Objective about the behavior: not the person
Specific enough for them to take targeted action
Timely so they can still recall what they did
