Achieving project success involves more than managing timelines and deliverables; it starts with assembling the right team. In this episode, award-winning project management consultant and speaker, Dawn Mahan, shares her expertise on creating cohesive, effective project teams and maximizing the impact of each role. With her extensive experience advising senior leaders, Dawn brings a wealth of practical insights to help project managers make the best use of their team members’ skills and ensure everyone is aligned with the project’s objectives.
Drawing from her book, "Meet the Players in Project Land," Dawn discusses essential project roles, including the sponsor, steering team, project manager, and team leads. She highlights the challenges of pre-assigned team members, aligning sponsor expectations, and fostering a team culture that transcends traditional hierarchies. Dawn also reveals practical strategies for managing stakeholders, including handling challenging personalities who may impact the project.
Not only is the right project team important on a skills/competency level, but I would say it's interesting to use personality tests and frameworks to delve into how people think and communicate to pair the right personalities with the right project, too.
