Leadership in Project Management. Does the competencies contribute to project success ?
 
Project Success = ¦(x × Leadership)?

Leading your team through a difficult project can test your mettle in ways you never expected. It can also draw on skills you never know you had, or at least never had to use at work. There are expectations associated with the position and the person accepting the assignment must be aware of the demands at the personal as well as professional level. The type of project, the company, the organizational structure and other factors impact the role of the project manager, but there will always be some element of leadership in the position.

Although important throughout all project phases, effective leadership is a contributor to the project success. Click for course details, books and cases
