There is a huge difference between a dictator and a leader.
Dictator--- A dictator gets workers to carry out a given task the way the dictator wants it to be done.
Leader----A leader is one who needs to get a job done and get people who will be able to do the job while giving workers reasons why they have to carry out the job effectively. Leader’s gets job delivered appropriately, the ability to plan, schedule and control work is one good and effective way for a good leader to get things done on time.

In order to succeed as a project leader, the attitude of a good leader has to be taken with all seriousness and implemented in all projects. Every project handled by a dictator, will only have minimum requirements satisfied but when it is handled by a leader, the result will go beyond only satisfying minimum requirements.
Qualities of a Good Project Manager.
A good project manager needs to know the right people to employ for the appropriate task.
A good manager should know that adequate training has to be given to the people who are going to carry out the task.
Sometimes as a good project leader, you may have to get in to carry out the task yourself without finding it as a big deal.
A good project manager needs to remain in the spirit of coordinating, a team of workers needs to be organized in order to carry out a particular task effectively and that is the reason why you are in that position.
A good project manager knows when exactly to motivate workers.
A good project manager knows when to get the team involved and take suggestions from them.
Steps required to manage a project.
Defining the problem you are about to find a solution to, is really important and it should be the first step in handling the management issue.
After getting the problem defined, the next thing is to begin to develop strategies that could be used to solve the created problems.
Get the set targets that must be meet, the way it should be done and the time it should be done is the next thing to get right.
Get the plans executed as soon as it can happen.
As a project manager, one of your duties is to ensure that the project you are working upon is making progress, give all you can to achieve success at the end of the accomplished project.
After you have a successful project, think about improvement strategy and continuity.
Well, a clear example of a good leader is our founder @ crypto.piotr who has guided the project in a good way and more and more people are motivated and encouraged to move forward.
That is the job of a good leader, using your workforce and raising the quality of the products delivered, and that's why motivation is an important part.

hi @futurekr
This is an interesting post - and project management is a subject dear to me.
You make some really good points. I always think the project manager has to be a leader and maintain positivity. They need to be aware of the risks but still stay positive. If the project manager loses hope - what will the team think?
Upvoted. Thanks.

A good project leader is also on fire for the cause, and I believe his enthusiasm will make the others in the team even more enthusiastic about the job as well!

This is a right point. A project manager must be an energetic fire carrier so the group can be strengthened for their tasks.

Hi @futurekr, great article.
The theme of leadership is truly fascinating, cultivating those qualities to manage any project is admirable. Often the people who are in charge of a project commit authoritarian mistakes, this diminishes the effectiveness of the group to achieve the objectives.
It is not being at the forefront of the project that makes you a leader, it is the way you manage the human and material resources that you have at your disposal.
Thanks for sharing!

True.. authority really doesn't help most times as members of the team won't be able to point out mistakes if there are any.

Leadership Skills For any company that seeks to be successful, it is essential to identify the leaders within that company since they will achieve that there can be a better harmony and synchronous among the other coworkers.
Because these leaders identify strengths and weaknesses, with that identified they can improve the way of working internally by delegating functions.

In some cases, tyranny is really needed but some other times, being a diplomatic leader also in project management is a good one.

From what I've seen over the past few years, there's an increasing trend to privately associate with a dictatorship personalities opposed to true leadership. Sad and concerning. I do believe this will change at some point and true fortitude will persevere.
Reducing complexity like outlining the steps you mention helps with belief in one's potential.

The difference between a leader and a boss is the ability to work together with one goal happily. No matter how much you love your job, you will always feel weak if you have a boss instead of a leader.

The major goal or a democratic or tyrannical leader is getting things done but their approaches is what makes it different. The truth is they both get results which are okay. It is in some cases okay to be hard and in some other cases be soft.

Hi @futurekr
Interesting choice of topic. Im a bit tired to read more about C-19, so I found your post a bit refreshing.
There surely is a huge difference between those who are leaders or dictators :) No dobt about it.
In theory. The fact is that it's harder to get results as a leader. Much harder. And more people need to be satisfied on the way. Dictators have it much easier, since they do not have to "listen" to others. They just demand things to be done. And as long as people are scared - they will obey.
Solid read, upvoted already,
Cheers, Piotr

I have a notion that in when doing a project or getting something done, one has to be both a democratic leader and a dictator. You can't be democratic all the time, so many things will go wrong.
