Tiivistelmä
This bachelor’s thesis was written with the co-operation of a construction company that is specialized in project working. The name of the company is Tampereen Bitumikate Oy and it has been operating in the waterproofing and roof-working sector for over 25 years. This case company is performing projects on a daily basis and the scale of the projects varies from one man projects to eight man projects. The projects may last from couple of days to couple of years. Therefore this case company was found to be very suitable for this Thesis.
Purpose of the research was to find out which skills, qualities and abilities are needed in order to become a great project leader. In modern world it is not uncommon that wrong people are put in charge of the projects and therefore it is often forgotten which attributes are the foundation of a successful project.
This thesis consists of two parts, the theoretical research which was conducted by desk research and the practical part which was covered by interviews and discussions with the interviewees. The collected data and information from the interviews was combined and analyzed for use where the results were sorted in order from most common to less common.
Results indicate that theory is good starting point, but needs practice in order to become efficient and meaningful. Research results provided a lot of important information regarding project management and especially the skills, abilities and qualities that a great leader and manager must have. It became obvious that personality and human nature is a deciding factor in the end.
This thesis is concluded with the evaluation of the results and theory. The combination of these two creates the wholeness. Idea is to provide added value and good information for the people who are interested in becoming great project leaders. This study is a good source for subject related activities not only for beginners but also experienced leaders and managers.
