Role and Impact of Leadership in Project Environments and How to Effectively Use Leadership in Project Environments

Abstract

Leadership is a key concept that has been used in the past decades. We can select the best definition of leadership and leadership styles by comparing the previous studies. Due to the variety of people, personalities, and types of industries, too many styles of leadership were introduced. Also, each style has its own definition and specifications. However, with high volume of different leadership styles, the overlaps between them could be figured out. This study is aimed to examine the overlaps and the factors that affect the role of leadership in project environment. In our research, we created three essential tables that categorize and describe the leadership styles, as well as identify the factors of the leadership styles. Analyzing the three tables led us to provide the most effective factor that impacts the role of leadership in project environment.
