Project Team Management: The significance of various leadership approaches in work environments when managing ICT project teams

Abstract

Although the majority of project teams perform better when leadership is shared (rather than centralized with the nominal team leader), team leaders are frequently unprepared to assess leadership potential or share leadership responsibility. The study applied quantitative research method by using online survey to analyze the significance role of various leadership in managing ICT project team. The findings revealed that leadership had a significant role in managing ICT project team. In conclusion, firms should invest in developing digital leaders who will champion digital competence and entrepreneurial processes in the design and implementation of IT solutions. This may push certain government officials to step outside their usual sphere of technical expertise. Therefore, it's crucial to recognize and promote the required change in skill levels. If a company cares about its key leaders, it should think about giving them chances to improve their communication, delegation, and motivation skills through professional development.
