Playmakers®
Project management is everywhere, but true project leadership is a different game. Playmakers® sharpens the leadership skills needed to drive successful projects and build high-performing teams.
A game about leading teams to high performance
Playmakers® help you build the leadership skills you need to inspire collaboration, drive results, and guide your team to success in any project.
Here's how:
Recognising individual traits
Sharpen your ability to identify personality traits and preferences, allowing you to adapt your leadership style for better results.
Increasing team performance
Try out strategies that respond to your team’s unique needs, driving higher motivation and productivity.
Aligning teams and stakeholders
Playmakers® helps you balance team needs and stakeholder expectations, while setting clear goals to keep everyone on the same page.
Train your leadership skills
Project management is standard practice in any large organisation—so much so that even those outside the field often have opinions on how it’s done.
However, project leadership is a much more nuanced and complex challenge. The most successful project managers are leaders first. Playmakers® focuses on developing the essential leadership skills needed to elevate your projects and help your teams thrive.
Beyond budgets and milestones
Playmakers® focuses on the leadership aspect of team management. The simulation will assess and develop your ability to recognize individual personality traits and preferences in your team and respond with effective leadership that increases your team’s performance.
Get on the same page
People have different needs and preferences, and as a leader, one of your key tasks is recognizing these differences to adjust your leadership style accordingly. Playmakers® trains you to do just that.
In the simulation, you’ll learn how to meet each team member’s needs for clarity, motivation, and recognition, all while setting shared goals and managing stakeholder expectations. You’ll gain insights into various personality types and develop actionable strategies to enhance your leadership and team performance.
