When Leadership Matters
leaders can ensure that the project is completed on time,
within budget, and to the desired quality standards.
Effective critical path management is crucial for the success
of any project, and leaders must be skilled in this area to
achieve their goals. Effective leaders must adapt to changes
and make necessary adjustments to the critical path in
order to ensure the project's success. This requires a
combination of flexibility and strategic thinking. Leaders
must be open to feedback and new ideas and be willing to
pivot when circumstances change. They should regularly
review progress against the critical path and be prepared
to re-prioritize tasks or adjust timelines to account for
unforeseen events or delays.
To successfully manage changes, leaders should create
contingency plans that address potential issues and risks.
This includes identifying alternative solutions and
resources to mitigate the impact of unexpected challenges.
Leaders should also communicate any changes to team
members, stakeholders, and customers promptly and
transparently. This builds trust and promotes a culture of
transparency and accountability.
