In a survey with 10,000 Project Managers it was found that over 60% of the issues that impact project performance is associated to the people side of the project, while management and leadership issues account for over 75% of all project failures. If on one side, people are the greatest source of uncertainty in a project, on the other, they are also the most important resource to reducing risks, when properly managed (Thamhain, 2013).
This poster aims to shed some light on the complexity and importance of leadership to project management. It will also provide characteristics of high-performing teams, and on what project leaders should focus to assure effectiveness.
