Complexity leadership theory contrasts these models and suggests a paradigm for leadership that is much more dynamic in nature. This approach to leadership fosters creativity, learning, adaptation and interactiveness between the leaders and followers. Complexity theory recognizes that leadership is more than one person, it is rather an interplay of a variety of variables. This theory also recognizes that these dynamics are unpredictable and are subject to change. The reason why I have chosen this article is because I plan to adopt complexity leadership theory into the planning and implementation of my project.
and Kashiwagi D. (2016) this project management model utilizes expertise instead of the traditional management, direction, and control (MDC). This new project management model is a leadership-based model instead of a management model. The practice of the new model requires a change in paradigm and project management structure. Some of the practices of this new paradigm include minimizing the flow of information and communications to and from the project manager [including meetings, emails and documents], eliminating technical communications, reducing client management, direction, and control of the vendor, and the hiring of vendors or personnel to do specific tasks. A vendors is hired only after they have clearly shown that they know what they are doing by showing past performance on similar projects, that they clearly understand how to create transparency to minimize risk that they do not control, and that they can clearly outline their project plan using a detailed milestone schedule including time, cost, and tasks all communicated in the language of
In organisation where the goals of the project are specified by the main organisation, projects are essentially seen as a means of change. Looking at the complexness in project management, it will be more preferable to see project as an organisation instead of a tool.

So much of this course are to models from which a manager can argue and focus decisions. Going back to the definition of project management, must be brought into a defined product in a fixed period, with a given amount of resources. The assessment of the projects, especially complex projects is difficult, so it's easy to change the circumstances have changed.

Project organizational culture (a direct influence) – various authors have researched the direct influence of project organizational culture on project success such as; organizational policies, procedures, rules, formal and informal roles (Cleland, 1999); top and line management supporting/attitude, monitoring, prioritization and project staffing (Kerzner, 2009, Andersen et al., 2009, Young & Jordan, 2008; Kearns, 2007; Tinnirello 2001; Doll, 1985); support of departments in the pursuit of project goals, employee commitment to the project goals in the context of balancing them with other, potentially competing goals, project planning – how managers evaluate it and how they view the outcomes of projects -the way work is estimated or how resources are assigned to projects, performance of project teams (Pinto,
ABSTRACT Project . 1.0 INTRODUCTION Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. Project management is accomplished through the application and integration of the project management process of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling and closing (King, 2014).

Contemporary IT project managers need to understand that all projects have some degree of successes and failures, which can be used as an opportunity for organizations to learn and continue develop from these experiences no matter the level of success or failure. Therefore, organizational learning and constant improvement from past experiences may be considered to be the secret to successful project management. In addition, this technique of organizational learning
