A STUDY ON LEADERSHIP SKILLS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Leadership skills are necessary for project management to ensure future project managers can deliver their projects effectively. This paper aims to investigate whether gaps exist between the skills of the graduate project management student with what is expected by the industry once they enter into the project management environment. The objective in this study is achieved through. The findings show that students lack skills in effectively organizing and running a meeting, planning, estimating/scheduling, time management, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills.
