Abstract
Leadership is one of the important elements for project managers to promote project. In PMBOK, it is quoted from Mr. Kotter's thesis that the Leadership should include "establishing policy direction", "shepherding members", and "motivating and inspiring members". On the other hand, in armed forces, leadership is shown by commanding officers."Commanding" means controlling subordinate units, and therefore, sense of responsibility and example by leadership are required for commanding officers. In this thesis, similarities and differences between SI project leadership and armed forces leadership are shown, pointing out what SI project managers should take into themselves.
