1 Introduction
Project management effectiveness refers to the success of the project (Hyvara, 2006). The ability of a project to succeed depends on the kind of people involved as people form the most critical project management resource. The objective of this paper is to ascertain the effect of leadership, organizational culture and team dynamics on software projects.

2 Leadership
Leadership is an interaction between two or more members of a group that often involves a structuring or restructuring of the situation and the perceptions and expectations of members. Leadership occurs when one group member modifies the motivation of competencies of others in the group. Any member of the group can exhibit some amount of leadership. (Bass, 1990: 19-20). This act may involve so many factors involving praising and criticizing members, structuring and defining work relations, showing consideration for each individual welfare and feelings and expressing acceptance for individual group members contribution encouraging and discipline creating team spirit.
