ABSTRACT

The professional project leader is faced with many demanding managerial duties. Fulfilling some might be easy and pleasurable, but others might be demanding and difficult. The management of a complex project is a mission that entails a variety of responsibilities which can either be well defined or not so easily recognised at the outset, and sometimes the duties can be conflicting. With these observations in mind, what predefines the duties of the project leader? Who defines these duties? How do we deal with situations if these responsibilities clash?
