	There are a lot of benefits to using a leadership approach to manage a project, but not performing it properly can have consequences that can have a negative effect on the success of the outcome of the project. When talking about poor leadership, most studies indicate that this is due to personality traits that conflict with the desired qualities of a leader. Toor and Ogulana argue that the negative personal attributes of the leader are what contribute to the ineffectiveness in leadership. Characteristics of an ineffective leader consist of personality traits, such as “self-centered behaviors, wrongful use of power, manipulation, intimidation, coercion, and one-way communication”.<ref name="Ineffective">[''Toor, S & Ogunlana, S 2009, ‘Ineffective leadership Investigating the negative attributes of leaders and organizational neutralizers’''] ''Ineffective'' </ref> These may be personality traits already present in a person before entering a leadership role. But it is also seen that the power can go to the head of a leader, where these traits will develop as the power rises.

	In addition to the consequences poor leadership can have on the outcome of a project and its success, arguments can be made for more serious consequences. These consequences include, but are not limited to, have shown to have an impact on the mental health of the followers. This manifests itself in the form of lack of interest, low job performance, as well as low self-confidence, in people who are subject to this type of management. This means that it can be directly measurable whether the leadership is effective as it can affect the organization through declining productivity.

	* Handling of external and internal conflicts		* Handling of external and internal conflicts

	Ensuring a successful project includes being able to stay within schedule and budget, hence why an effective plan is necessary. Planning out a strategy is also beneficial as it can help plan the delegation of human resources to reach these set targets. Communication, like in leadership, is an essential part of project management. The majority of the project manager’s time is spent communicating with people internally and externally from the project.<ref>[''Dr. Algathani, A 2014, ‘Are Leadership and Management Different?’''] ''Different'' </ref> Internal communication includes, among other tasks, distributing roles, information, and responsibility within the group. To mitigate miscommunication, it is necessary for the project manager to assign the needed roles and responsibilities between the team members, as they can help create structure in the project team. Conflict resolution is necessary to avoid threatening the aforementioned schedule or budget, as this can have a negative influence on the success of the project.

	Management can therefore best be described as being a function that aims to achieve and ensure the best climate to perform and thereby deliver the best possible results within the specifications of the project. A good manager can therefore be described as an organizer who structures complex problems, by creating a plan, predicting possible risk, and deciding on an approach to achieve the set targets. Furthermore, a good project manager can adhere to a strategic overview. The task includes being able to delegate work tasks between the team members, maintain an overview of resources at hand, as well as the future resources that might be needed. The quality of the management can therefore have an impact on how effectively a goal I achieved.

	Management can be useful under the right conditions. As was the case with leadership, it is important for a manager to be able to talk to people, as the main part of the function consists of delegating and structuring tasks within the team. Incompetence in management can be seen by the following characteristics, according to Lombardo et. al <ref>[''Lombardo, M, Ruderman, M & McCauley, C 1988, ‘Explanations of success and derailment in upper-level management positions’''] ''Lombardo'' </ref>:		Management can be useful under the right conditions.

	Choosing leadership, which is a more human-oriented approach, compared to management, is good for raising the motivation of the team. Leading a team requires that you have the personal competencies of being able to motivate others and make them believe in the vision that you put on the agenda. To produce good results as a leader, it is important, to either be a people-person, who can quickly deduce an individual’s potential and driving forces, or to be within a team, where you as a leader trust your team’s skills and capabilities. It can be deduced from the research done within the subject, that there are many benefits in terms of employee satisfaction to be gained by choosing a leadership approach.

Neither is it possible to be a manager of a successful project, without being able to be a leading figure for your team. Nevertheless, when choosing between using a leadership or management approach, one should first consider one’s own personal competencies, as well as the relationship with and the dynamics within the team.
