All this four models is around project lifecycle where it starts with business development that is looking into business opportunities for establishing a tourism projects around the Sultanate. Then, the project feasibility study transferred to investment department who is responsible to search for the financial funding through several channels such as has partnership with government or private entities, joint venture or fully financed by MOF. When this issued decided, the matter transferred to project management team to take over managing the whole project phases. Finally, the asset management team takes their role in managing the process of project delivery to the determined owners.

It is obvious from the aforementioned process that Omran’s business models are diversified and greatly dependent on teamwork. Therefore, project’s success hinges on how the teams perform. The diversity of the teams and business models encouraged Omran to adopt the situational leadership style where it ensures meeting the needs of each team. Situational leadership style is explored in point 2 of this report.

Starting explaining the style adopted in business development team, the management is playing a role of supporting and participating style. It is because both the management and the team are making the decisions together with fewer directions from the top management. Business development team is carrying out a number of tasks and process which generally a preparation and development of potential growth opportunities for the senior management or boar...

...epartment are distributed to three major roles: senior design manager, senior construction manager and senior project manager. On the other hand, the management has reduced the leadership on this department considering that they have the knowledge and skill needed to do the tasks. The management’s role is to share responsibility for the goal setting but does not interfere with the team’s work. Now, the project management team has raised a proposal to the top management to appoint senior project manager as a leader for the other two roles. Again this shows that this team is really capable and do not need directions.

For the other remaining supporting departments like finance, human resources, risk and compliance, legal, procurement and contracts …etc, Omran is adopting styles that is matching the competences and commitment of the department teams.

    These project managers are also examining teamwork for ways to improve project success. However, since the benefits of leadership behaviors can be rather intangible, this has slowed or prevented the implementation of leadership theories. Accordingly, the impact of leadership behaviors on project performance has been one of the major issues for both industry and academic fields (Keller, 1992; Kendra and Taplin, 2004; Turner and Muller, 2005). In order to understand the benefits, there is a need for quantification of the benefits derived from leadership behaviors. Research on leadership behaviors and theirs associations with project success should offer tangible evidence of advantages from adopting a certain leadership style (Giritli and Civan, 2008). There is a need for more comprehensive empirical evidence that evaluates the benefits associated with the project manager's leadership style and, more specifically, its associations with project success. This study attempts to fill this void of empirical evidence by identifying the associations between leadership style and project success. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the leadership style on project success and to examine the mediating role of Team stability in the relationship between leadership performance and project success. In other words, the analysis shows the relationship between

    Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Theory (SLT) asserts that a leader’s effectiveness is dependent upon the readiness, or ability and willingness, of the leader’s followers to complete a task. This leadership style is an amalgamation of task-oriented and relationship-oriented characteristics that are employed depending upon the situation and the followers involved. According to the SLT, as followers increase in readiness the leader’s style is to adapt accordingly (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2009).

    The leadership styles present in the company is very important factor in order for the change to be successful. Chris Peterson exhibits the transformational leadership quality to tackle her new project. She is able to empower members on her cross functional team to collaborate and create a new product to launch to current and perspective clients. This type of leadership is effective as the group members were able to tackle challenging expectations considering the work environment and lack of support from other departments. DSS’s departments follow the team leadership structure. Each department vision is to work on their sole projects only. The department is committed to its work which tends to hinder other projects because of the lack of free flowing communication. The lack of communication between the teams shows poor leadership quality. The chief operating officer is ultimately the source of the lack of communication and direction. DSS Chief Operating Officer Meg Cooke has a laissez-faire leadership style. She gave Peterson authority to lead a project but provided no guidance or direction. She also was not responsive to the needs of the

    The concept of leadership arises out of the need for cooperative action by human beings to achieve certain goals. Leadership seeks to identify and deploy the groups’ pooled resources to tackle problems in order to achieve set objectives. While human beings are independent and capable of individual action, there are many situations in real life that require dependence on one person or a small group of people who have a broad view of the intervening issues enabling them to direct the actions of the rest of the individuals. The degree of success from this effort is a measure of the leadership skill present within a team.
