Vivian, good job with your Unit 2 post on stakeholders. Overcoming cross-cultural communication barriers is another leadership challenge during stakeholders ' engagements. Leaders must also be skilled in conflict management and negotiations. Effective project managers are effective communicators. As noted by Heerkens (2000), choosing the right approach and best medium are critical decisions for effective communication with stakeholders. He noted that before a meeting is called, we should make sure that to verify if the meeting is required. He also noted that project managers should not call meetings if a few phone calls can solve the problem or issue.

Questions : "What are some of the ways to create and distribute project performance information"? And what are the best ways you would conduct effective project meetings?
