&lt;p&gt;
May 21, 2012 &amp;ndash; Minneapolis, MN &amp;ndash; Project Leadership Services  (PLS), a  leading provider of business consulting services,  is now taking registrations for &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Effective  Project Leaders = Successful Projects&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;. This one-day class provides leaders  with a unique opportunity to enhance their ability to learn and to lead. This  focus on leadership methodology includes creating an environment that allows  the whole team to drive toward a common goal and ensure success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Project leadership skills and tools are the focus of the  class rather than pure project management or administration tools. The class is  highly interactive, providing everyone the opportunity to both learn and to share  their experiences and knowledge.&amp;nbsp; At the  end of each topic, the class identifies key points that can be taken away from  the class and productively used the next day. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I found the project leadership class led by PLS to be  extremely helpful in developing my skills in program management. Unlike other  courses I&amp;rsquo;ve taken, the PLS class focuses on actionable skills rather than  abstract theory. Those skills are reinforced with group work on case studies  throughout the class. The group left energized and ready to go apply this new  knowledge back on their various projects," &lt;em&gt;commented a recent participant.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The target participant for this class include moderate to  experienced project leaders and managers from manufacturing, logistics,  marketing, product development, quality assurance, IT, finance, and other  domains. This is a great chance for project leaders to interact with peers from  other domains and better understand shared issues and challenges. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Effective Project Leaders =  Successful Projects&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; will be held at the Minneapolis  Marriott West in St. Louis Park, Minnesota on Thursday June 21st (8:00 AM -  4:30 PM). Secure early bird registration by June 14, 2012. Discounts are  offered for groups of four or more. Seating is limited. &lt;/p&gt;
