Hello everyone!
Surely we will agree that there are many determining elements in the success of a project, success is not achieved through a magic formula nor does it come from nothing; When we observe a successful project, business or group, we must recognize that behind this success, a series of elements were combined to make this possible.
If we try to understand the success of some recognized projects, both in industry and in the social sphere, we find that there are common elements that stand out in each case, and one of them is leadership. From Henry Ford and his success in the automobile industry, Nelson Mandela and his fight against apartheid to Simón Bolívar and his fight for freedom in America.
A good leader.
Leadership is an essential element to achieve the success of a project, the leader is a visionary, he is the person who has the clearest vision of what he wants to achieve, this implies having a clear notion of the resources that are needed to achieve the objective of said project.
A good leader will manage and adapt all the resources available to him, in order to achieve maximum performance in the race towards the objective he wants to achieve.
The leader will be able to deal with the inconveniences that arise and put the project at risk, until achieving a minor impact on the development of activities related to it.
Absence of the leader.
When leadership is lost, the risk of failure increases, jeopardizing the objectives set.
With the absence of the leader, confusion takes place by replacing the vision, making decision making more difficult or making wrong decisions.
In many cases with the absence of the leader dreams die, and without dreams there is no reason to continue.
A good leadership is the one who maintains the spirit in the project, when there is no leader, enthusiasm and commitment diminish.
Conclusions.
Strong leadership is undoubtedly a guarantee for a successful project, although we agree that leadership alone will not succeed, leadership itself contributes a high percentage to the success of a project.
I particularly think that the rest of the elements that help the success of a project must necessarily be grouped around good leadership in order to be able to make up that series of elements that together contribute to success.
Thanks for reading, in a next installment I will be sharing other elements of that formula that contribute to the success of a project.

You are welcome. :)
Hi @fucho80
Well you know I am passionate about writing on the topic of leadership, so I couldn't agree more. A strong leader helps to lead people to success on a project.
One of the most important things the leader does is set the vision which helps the project define its objectives. Without a clear direction of travel we cannot know wether we are doing in the right direction.
Hello dear @awah, thanks for your contribution.
Indeed, the leader is the conductor who sets the note for each instrument, if all the musicians can perform well, then we will have a sublime melody.
The leader is always important in the team since many don't know how to take the next step if there is no one to guide them, which is not a bad thing but I think we should all have our own initiative too and contribute more to our personal growth in that aspect!
I totally agree with you, but even if there are many people with leadership skills in a project, the responsibility of the project must be on a particular leader and others collaborate to complement the ideas of that leader, otherwise we run the risk of turning the project in a competition arena.
Absence of the leader will kill that business fastly. The leader really plays an important role in business. He ensures day to day running of the business is in good hands
Correct, without a leader who takes the reins of the project, the objectives are not achieved.
