Projects are temporary organizations and a lack of effective project leadership has been cited as a major cause of costly project failure, overriding most organizational factors. In the rapidly globalizing 21st century, the challenge of project leadership is compounded further by cross-cultural factors as projects around the world are being increasingly peppered with multi-ethnic participants. The overarching question underpinning this study is: What are the key behavioral characteristics for effective transcultural project leadership of projects composed of multi-ethnic teams? This novel global research of successful international project managers, program managers, consultants, and team members examines the confluence of organizational leadership, cross-cultural management, project management, and team dynamics to identify behavioral patterns likely to result in effective transcultural project leadership. For project managers, program managers, and other project practitioners-as well as international managers across various industries-this study yields 'best practice' guidelines for successful project leadership, training, and evaluation in transcultural project environments.
