data is
saying...
	
	
	
	
	
Pulse data shows most organisations place
nearly an equal emphasis on developing
leadership skills as they do technical skills
(65 percent and 68 percent, respectively).
LUCA GIRAUDO, PMP
Senior Manager, Accenture,
London, England
“Project managers of the future will not
be mere executors of project
management approaches. There’s a lot
of focus on building new skills
alongside the existing ones,”
DEV RAMCHARAN, PMP
Management Consultant,
City of Toronto, Canada.
“There are a set of competencies we
have to develop outside of the
technical skills and tools that we’ve
traditionally focused on as project
managers. One of the things that is
really becoming apparent worldwide is
the importance of people skills—
interpersonal proficiency.”
PRISCILA DUARTE, PMP
Technical Delivery Manager,
Microsoft, São Paulo, Brazil
“In the future, artificial intelligence will
be doing a lot of the reporting and
administrative work. So it will be
important for project managers to
invest in their leadership skills and
other people skills because those will
never go away.”

And that means project professionals will need not only
technical prowess but stellar leadership and stakeholder
engagement skills, too.
PMI advocates that to truly make a difference,
organizations need project leaders who bring holistic
perspectives, a deep curiosity and broad skill sets to the
work at hand.
That means an increased demand for versatile and bold
project leaders—capable of embracing new ways of
working, leading diverse teams and exploring innovative
solutions.

Management
v's Leadership
Influence and inspiration separate
leaders from managers, not power and
control.
• Management consists of controlling
a group or a set of entities to
accomplish a goal.
• Leadership refers to an individual's
ability to influence, motivate, and
enable others to contribute toward
organisational success.
