| Summary: | The paper discusses leadership characteristics in international
projects that require cooperation. The influence of the leader's traits
and qualities on the implementation of the multilateral project was
studied under the framework of the Latvia-Lithuania-Belarus TransBorder
Cooperation Program. A multistage survey in different target
groups was used for the research. The research revealed that there
is no discrepancy between the effective leadership at multilaterals
and effective leadership concepts in general. Nevertheless, some
specific leader’s characteristics and qualities can be underlined.
Multilateral projects require leader to be competitive, self-confident,
visionary and supportive at first. Herewith, the leader must have
good knowledge on the project technical requirements, an ability to
consult project team on performance, a capability to coordinate and
to control project processes, a capacity to effectively manage project
documentation, a competence of mentoring and employee
engagement, an ability to meet project team needs, and perfect
skills of project internal and external communication. The research
also revealed that cultural differences of team members can determine
the attitude towards leadership. |
