People who lead without a superior function - including project managers and assistants - need to know how to secure natural acceptance and recognition. This requires the interplay of understanding, power and trust in order to achieve better results. Those who know the tools to facilitate cooperation and have the appropriate communication skills can also lead successfully without authority.

Good leadership includes a comprehensive range of management tools consisting of both direct and indirect measures. Managers can use the following tools to exert a direct influence on an employee's experience and behavior:

• Recognition and praise
• Feedback and criticism
• Staff appraisals
• Target agreements

All these areas are discussed in a good leadership seminar. Leadership skills can be acquired through a leadership seminar.
