Abstract
This chapter looks into the notion of leading at the core of strategic project organizing (SPO). It acknowledges that leading is the essential social essence that provides meaning to a common purpose. In SPO, a leader is viewed as a problem-solver for leading complex projects. The chapter then presents the Project Leadership Model (PLM), which developed an incomplete leadership concept that has sense-making, relating, projecting, and creating as its dimensions. Across the three domains, leading is distributed through networks of leaders horizontally and vertically dispersed. The chapter highlights the importance of teaming as an essential component of leading in SPO.
