Abstract
This has been a study to investigate the effect of project managers’ leadership style on project
success and the study being a case study, dwelt on the Church of Pentecost. This study in order
to collect data that are accurate and valid, employed the purposive sampling technique which
ensured that only project managers and project team members with the relevant experience,
information and deeper insights into the COP’s projects were contacted. In all, a total of thirty
project managers and project team members of the COP participated in the study. In relation to
the first objective, it was found that project leaders are highly effective in articulating project
visions and objectives, that team members of the COP’s projects always feel proud to be
associated with the project leaders and that project leaders let team members know what they
need to do in order to be rewarded. In relation to the second objective of identifying the influence
of leadership styles on project success at the COP, this study revealed that overall, because
project managers of the COP largely adopt and execute a transformational leadership style, it has
enabled project leaders to provide inspirational leadership which among others, has led to COP’s
projects being delivered within schedule, within budget and to specification. Based on the
findings and conclusions of the study, the recommendations proffered include sponsoring project
leaders on a regular bases to attend training courses on leadership and that top management of
the COP must readily approve training budgets for project managers and must desist from
holding onto the view that project managers know it all and therefore do not need further
training.
