Project managers are often accountable for outcomes delivered by people who do not report to them. Team members may come from different functions, answer to different leaders, balance competing priorities, and bring different skills and ways of working to the project.
So what does it really mean to lead when positional authority is not enough?
In this episode of Project Management Masterclass, we continue the Project Management Trends 2026 series with Managing With People. Host Brittany Wilkins shares her personal experience of struggling to manage with people early in her career and what it took to grow into a more effective leader.
Through lessons learned along the way, this episode explores the importance of creating clarity, developing capability, building ownership, adapting your communication, and bringing people together around a shared mission.
Because successful project leadership is not about making yourself necessary for every task or decision.
It is about creating the conditions for people to contribute, take ownership, and deliver together.
