Leadership Without Authority Made Practical

The role of the Project Manager is evolving, and success in 2026 will require more than strong delivery skills. Project Managers are increasingly expected to influence without authority, navigate complexity, and deliver results in environments of constant change.
This lunch & learn introduces the THRIVE Leadership Framework, a practical approach to future-ready leadership. Participants will gain practical tools and insights to help them thrive in organisations in 2026 and beyond, strengthening their impact, influence, and effectiveness as Project Management leaders.
