The Survey of Project Leadership Practices (PLP) is a validated 360 feedback survey which measures the skills necessary to lead a project team. Effective project leaders bring adverse group together by clarifying goals, accessing hard to find or hard to acquire resources from a variety of stakeholders, and generally work effectively in a matrixed measurement setting. Effective leaders manage customer, client, and team member expectations and soothe any cross functional issues that arise.
