The Relevance of Sharing Values in Project Leadership ()
ABSTRACT
Project leadership is
an important aspect for non-profit organizations (NPOs) that run projects to
address societal challenges. While communication and goal orientation as
determining factors in project leadership have extensively been researched
little has been researched on the relevance of sharing values as a determining factor in leadership, in
particular leader-leader exchange (LLX). The purpose of this research is
to close this gap by confirming the relevance of sharing values in project
leadership. If this relevance is been confirmed, the research model which was
developed and includes sharing values as a determining factor will be used to
address another research question that forms part of a wider leadership topic.
A way of testing the relevance of sharing
values in the model which was used to assess determining factors on project performance in auditing and
consulting projects is the focus group discussion. The results of the
focus group discussion as a qualitative research method should, it will be
evident how relevant sharing values in leadership is. The questions addressed
in the focus group discussion to eight participants from both the for-profit and non-profit organizations should give
further answers to leadership components such as communication. The
qualitative research indicates that the dimension of sharing values dealing
with projects is not only important but, it acts as a catalyst for the
organization’s values as a whole. Findings also
found justifications that sharing values is also considered a
precondition for project leadership as a factor for improving the performance
in projects. In the end, the research will confirm the criticality of sharing
values and also give examples that help to address leadership as determining
factor to achieve project performance.
