Book excerpt: "Leadership competencies of a clinical trial project manager" is unique in that this qualitative inquiry research project not only explores the specific top leadership competencies of project managers involved in pharmaceutical clinical trials, but the concepts reviewed in this book are applicable broad spectrum to multiple professional fields. The proposed leadership framework combines elements of leadership competencies, project management competencies, personal competencies, and includes a review of the leadership types from the traits theory of leadership. The leadership concepts described are universal and can be applied to improve any leader's abilities. While this book focuses on clinical trial project managers, the concepts and best practices apply to all PMs within pharmaceuticals or in any other field. The derived PM competency framework is transferrable to PMs in numerous industries and may also provide applicable guidance to others, regardless of their profession. Ultimately, the expansion of the PM triangle is a useful concept that many will find interesting. Additionally, personal competencies can improve personal effectiveness, achievements, and actions. This project identified 5 themes to include (a) CTPM experience and knowledge, (b) leadership competencies, (c) leadership types (styles), (d) personal competencies, and (e) project management competency development (PMCD). The 5 themes identified are all critical to understanding the perspectives obtained from the study participants regarding leadership competencies to maximize efficiencies of research and development. The results of this study can (a) potentially assist new CTPMs, (b) provide a refresher for CTPMs seeking improvement, (c) provide support for project managers in general, and (d) may assist hiring managers in determining the leadership skills to seek. The results from this study may support the project, program, and portfolio managers from various industries to better understand the leadership competencies and the overall framework that support project management. At the same time, these 5 themes, interpreted in the broadest terms, may be helpful to you!
