• Enroll and inspire people. Be straight! Take risks!
• Manage conflict powerfully rather than avoiding it.

Powerful leaders are effective at doing things with people-not to them. They are able to inspire people to be their very best by being straight and getting underneath the excuses and waffling. They also inspire by taking risks and putting themselves on the line. And they don’t assume support for their project. They continuously enrol people to participate in the initiative.

Project leaders also require outstanding negotiation and conflict management skills. Conflict is inevitable within a project due to competing priorities and the uncertainty inherent in creating something new. But powerful leaders maximize the opportunities arising from conflict by proactively:

Stimulating conflict to ensure a diversity of opinion and new ideas
Mitigating against unnecessary conflict through constant communication with key stakeholders. AND
Managing structural conflict, interpersonal conflict and prolonged opposition in a manner that generates possibility and insight.
