    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

Still, I find that this personality test, or any personality test, is not necessarily useful, as personalities are constantly changing in little ways. Over the course of a year, I have had three different personality types, which were all similar in some way. All personalities had agreed with me at that time. At the current time, out of the sixteen types, I am personally an ESTJ, which means that I am an extroverted, sensing, thinking and judgmental individual.
