Abstract

This research explores the impact of leadership competencies on the success of global projects, focusing on key factors such as cultural intelligence (CQ), emotional intelligence (EI), communication, and adaptability. Through a survey of project leaders, the study investigates how cultural differences affect team performance, the competencies required for effective leadership in diverse environments, and the challenges of managing cross-cultural teams. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding and navigating cultural nuances, fostering positive team dynamics, and aligning team objectives with organizational goals. The research also highlights the necessity of flexibility in leadership approaches to accommodate diverse team needs and improve project outcomes. The implications suggest that global leaders must prioritize these competencies to drive successful collaboration and performance in international projects.
