Project leadership revisited : A post-heroic perspective and research agenda
Year: 2007
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Given that project leadership is thus an important and fast-growing phenomenon in the practical world, it is rather surprising to find that it has received little attention in the research literature. If we depart from the general field of leadership studies as applied to project settings, the literature is not impressive. Most project leadership texts are simplistic and normative, often ending up in recommendations on either the personality of the project leader, or the implications of project life cycles and group development patterns to leadership behaviour. In addition, it seems that the existing literature on project leadership has little to offer where the present developments of project research and practice are concerned.
