Conclusion and Recommendations
In this paper we examined leadership behaviour in less global and more global projects. Numerous questions remain, but the current findings advance understanding significance of leadership style, and suggest that continuing research on these lines is likely to yield new theoretical insights as well as practical interventions to enhance effective project management both in less global and more global projects. Based on the aforementioned discussion, we propose some of the basic principles of leadership which lead to effective project management:
o Encourage participative decision making.
o Practice open communication skills for the flow and easy access of project information.
o Be supportive, advocating, and empowering by delegating authority.
o Resolve conflicts within a team: recognize areas of tension between individuals and apply conflict-resolution techniques.
o Provide coaching on new tasks as well as on improving performance and behaviour.
o Do task monitoring of important tasks based on ranking from most important to least important tasks.
o Inculcate the skill of breaking down a large complicated task into small manageable tasks in team members.
o Be the role model in managing your time to meet the goals and tasks.
o Strengthen team work by determining roles and responsibilities by involving the team.
