Synopsis: The unit is based on the premise that success in project leadership depends on a proper managerial style and attitude, and not on specific tools for planning and controlling. The unit focuses on developing the manager's conceptual thinking and on building "the project manager's mind." The right attitude then leads to the right action, and the specific selection of practices and tools. The unit will help health professionals see the entire project landscape and the long-term issues, which are critical to project success. The unit also deals with the concepts of technological forecasting.
