Our paper aims to critically analyze the scientific literature regarding the competencies of project managers and their role in creating and coordinating an efficient team. To carry out our research, we employed a qualitative research approach based on the study of secondary sources. As a result of the literature review, we have classified and analyzed the competencies of managers that lead to successful project outcomes. Furthermore, based on the particularities and competencies of managers, we have analyzed how the relationship between the manager and the team influences project outcomes. Furthermore, based on the particularities and competencies of managers, we have analyzed how the relationship between the manager and the team influences project outcomes. This research should be considered a starting point for future research by providing insights into the skills and competencies required for effective project management. The project managers and teams can use our findings to develop and implement a strategic vision to achieve project objectives. Moreover, creative skills and the ability to motivate the entire team represent relevant elements to conduct successful projects and strengthening team cohesion. This study is of great relevance to academics and practitioners in project management, as it offers the opportunity to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective measures to enhance project success. Therefore, future research should focus on developing and transforming the manager's skills into a true leader.
