Learning to be a Team-Leader

Does The Right Software Make Better Leaders?

Many of us cringe at the thought of speaking in front of a group of people, or having to organize a group of people, ideas, and documentation to perform a task. When the heads of our companies start to look for someone to lead projects, or inspire our co-workers we try to make ourselves invisible, so they will not think about putting us in that position.
The problem with avoiding these stressful situations is that the boss does not see our potential and when raises and promotions are given, they overlook us for those because they have never seen us perform up to our full potential.
Luckily, technology is about to give us all a gift that will allow us to lead projects, inspire others, and impress our bosses. Technology has given us Copper Project Management software and that software is going to make every project leader look better in the eyes of their bosses.

Easy collaboration with copper management software

The Copper project management software has the team leader set up accounts for each person that will be collaborating on the project. This includes subcontractors and the client that the project is being done for. Each person that has an interest in the work the team is doing will have an account set up through the Copper Project management.
The individual accounts will be linked to one page. That page will link each person to the priorities of the project, and to all of the information concerning the work being done, the vision of the team leader or coordinator, the tasks that must be completed for the project to be completed, and to the progress that has been made.

Here is what awaits you if you try doing a project without the right software

If you try to accomplish the project without this amazing software, the team leader will have to spend countless hours behind a computer sending emails to each person that is involved. The emails will have to include links to any important information, attachments of documents that each person needs to see, and a progress report. In order for everyone to stay up to date these email notifications will have to be composed and sent at least once a day, and then the recipient must open and read the information. If they overlook an email and trash it before they read it, they could miss an important update, and that might set the project back. The team leader will be held accountable for everyone getting the information they need, and the documentation. Using Copper Project management software to connect your team will allow you to provide each team member with the information they need to know.
The team leader only has to sit down once and put the information into the software and everyone will have access to it. No member will accidentally erase their copy of the documents or instructions they need. Projects will be completed in a timely manner with fewer hiccups, and the team leader will receive the recognition and praise they deserve from their bosses.
