Abstract

This paper suggests that adaptive changes in the situational leadership style adopted by the project manager toward his team during different sub-phases within the implementation phase in a project life cycle could enhance overall project performance. These changes in the leadership styles are necessitated by the timing element which plays a vital role in a given project situation making the need to switch.

While project management research has already highlighted leadership styles with respect to individual performance levels, group and task needs at a particular time in the project, this research is based on the assumptions that leadership demands are far more dependent on the project life cycle and, more specifically, the sub-phases than previously discussed.
