Leadership v projektovém managementu

The diploma thesis focuses on leadership in project management. It has several objectives which are introduced not only in the theoretical part of the thesis but also in its practical part. The aim of this work is to identify problematic areas of the team management based on the conducted research and to examine whether the problematic areas are related to the type of methodology used for team management and also to propose measures for solving the problematic areas. Another aim of the thesis is to verify whether there are any differences in the teamwork of the project teams and approaches to managing projects depending on the methodologies used. The first chapter focuses on psychology and management, especially on teamwork and typology of personality. The second chapter characterizes the personality of a leader, differences between leaders and managers, the concept of leadership and its theories and styles. The third part defines the basic terms of the project management and describes the traditional and agile methodologies of the project management. The practical part is devoted to the implementation and evaluation of the current state of the project management and the functioning of the team from two perspectives, project managers and members of the project team. Based on the conducted research, the problems were identified and subsequently solved. The identified problems also create a basis for identification of a project manager as a leader and a teamwork on projects managed with traditional and agile project methodologies.
