Portfolio Entry 1
Using the material in the unit and from your own research, assess yourself as a leader by writing a
‘pen portrait’ of yourself as project leader, and as seen from another person’s perspective. Ensure
that you identify which leadership skills and characteristics are defined, and that the portrait reflects
activity on a previous, current or future project.
Portfolio Entry 2
Discuss the following statement with reference to a project, assignment or other initiative you have
been involved with: “While project management is an activity undertaken with others, the projects
themselves involve these other people doing—or not doing—just what is needed. This happens in an
environment where the project manager has far less authority than responsibility, and it is this
limitation of authority that characterises the project manager’s role and propels the most successful
project managers to demonstrate leadership.”
Portfolio Entry 3
With reference to the work you have done for Portfolio Entry 1 and 2, devise and run a technique
that you can use to address the following questions:
? Which leadership style suits you best?
? How does this fit with your favoured team roles?
? How will you bolster the parts (roles) that you’re not so good at?
? How will you manage to delegate those parts that you love doing?
? How will you ensure that the parts you favour least, still get the attention they need for
good project leadership?
