Abstract
Most people seem to agree that effective leadership in project management can contribute significantly to a successful outcome. Three early leadership styles that were studied by Lewin et al. were authoritarian, participative, and laissez-faire. The project management environment and setting contain many challenges that make the selection of an effective leadership style difficult. Effective project leadership styles are often hard to maintain unless the project and corporate cultures are aligned. Project managers do not manage stakeholders. Rather, they manage the relationship with the stakeholders by choosing an effective leadership style that can be different for each stakeholder. Unlike most project managers who focus on and emphasize their personal or organizational interests, servant leaders recognize the importance of participation and interaction to get project team members to work together. Traditional project management leadership, based heavily on authority and power, is changing to social project management leadership that emphasizes interpersonal skills.
