Talk – Feb. 10, 2010 How to lead a cross-functional team when no one is a direct report

Companies highly value the experience and skill of project managers who can work across all departments in an organization.

As project managers, the more we understand how to manage cross-functional teams and how to encourage collaboration, the more successful we are and the more successful our projects will be.
