Successful new product team leaders

Article Abstract:

This article examines differences between more and less effective new product development team leaders. We found that successful leaders understood and accepted project goals, perceived more autonomy in managing their projects, and perceived more senior management support for their projects. Moreover, successful leaders learned significantly different lessons from their less successful colleagues. A discussion of the results, along with several implications for new product development, is presented. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
