The 7th edition of the PMBOK Guide provides a thorough overview of the best practices and standards involved in project management. It gives a framework for project management processes and practices. The PMBOK guide was a valuable source for this article as it includes the fundamental aspects of project management as well as the responsibilities and duties of a project manager. It indicates leadership behaviour as one of the main principles for project managers. The guide furthermore discusses different skills and primary activities that are associated with leadership and a comparison of leadership and management in project management.


'''AXELOS. (2017). Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2® (6th ed.). The Stationary Office.'''

PRINCE2 is a widely used project management methodology and this book is the official manual for it. PRINCE is a short for PRojects IN Controlled Environments and emphasizes breaking projects down into stages that can be better managed and controlled. For this article it was a relevant source as it discusses the important functions of management as well as its definition. PRINCE2 states that it is not possible to define leadership in a method, despite it being of the utmost importance in project management. Leadership styles differ greatly, and what works in one circumstance may not be suitable in another.


'''Armstrong, M. and Stephens, T. (2005). A Handbook of Management and Leadership: A Guide to Managing for Results. Kogan Page.'''

This handbook is a comprehensive guide of management and leadership, and provides an overview of effective management practices and leadership skills. The handbook was useful to this article as it discusses the practices and processes of management and leadership separately. It provides information on management including definition, role, functions, competencies and explains effective management. It also provides information on leadership including role, type, functions and explains a good leader. The handbook also compares management and leadership, stating that the difference is crucial and explains how the two concepts can be distinguished from one another.
