Key Findings

IR 134-2, Tools for Effective Project Team Leadership

The tools are based on effective leadership behaviors and member characteristics identified in the research. The three tools can be used separately or together, and can cover the entire project life cycle.

Tool 1:  Leader Selection Guide. This structured decision-making tool can be used to guide selection of a project leader by a management team or by an individual. The selection process is divided into five sequential steps, with worksheets to assist in performing each.

Tool 2:  Team Leadership Planner. This tool is intended to help a project leader develop specific strategies for team leadership, again based on the set of leadership behaviors that have been identified with high performance project teams. These strategies can be integrated into the overall project execution plan to get the team off to a good start and improve the probability of achieving superior project performance through enhanced teamwork.

Tool 3:  Team Health Check. The project leader may use the Health Check tool to survey team members on his/her leadership behaviors as well as their perceptions of the characteristics of the team membership.
