- About
Advancing Leadership and Collaboration in Project Management investigates the human and organisational factors that drive project success - leadership, communication, culture, and team dynamics - through rigorous empirical research. Drawing on evidence from logistics, IT, construction, telecommunications, and energy sectors, it offers insights into how people and processes interact to shape project outcomes. Drawing on data from over 2,000 professionals, the book blends quantitative studies with case analyses to reveal how collaboration and knowledge sharing underpin resilience and innovation.
Structured in four sections: communication and culture; knowledge and learning; leadership; and team dynamics, it argues that methodologies alone cannot guarantee success - alignment of leadership styles, cultural context and organisational learning are equally critical. While rooted in Malaysian industry cases, the insights resonate globally - helping organisations deliver projects with agility and sustainability while navigating challenges such as virtual collaboration, cultural differences, vendor performance and emerging technologies like 5G and cloud computing.
As a companion to Advancing Project Management: Frameworks, Digital Transformation, Sustainability and Governance, this book complements technical perspectives with evidence-based strategies for strengthening the human side of projects.
Ideal for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers, Advancing Leadership and Collaboration in Project Management offers actionable guidance for building adaptive, high-performing teams in an era of rapid change.
