Several studies have investigated the skills and expertise required by practitioners in the field of management. A variety of managerial skills, including leadership and project management, are required by most practitioners, according to the data collected. Among the skills identified by previous researchers as of national

are affected by a leader's behaviour. Literature revealed that education plays an important role in leadership, as contractors with high academic achievements
should emphasize technical aspects of project management. An analysis of the construction industry revealed leadership skills as essential to safety A qualitative data analysis was conducted in order to identify and analyze the necessary information in order to determine the relationship between competence levels and leadership effectiveness within the built environment sector in RSA.
