Extensive literature review was conducted based on each objective and variables were identified. The study adopted a quantitative research method and thus, a structured questionnaire was developed and distributed to project managers whiles sixty (60) responses were retrieved for the analysis. The data were analyzed using mean score ranking and regression analysis. With the success criteria, the highest ranked success criterion was schedule success factor, followed by quality success factor, health and safety success factor and cost success factor. With the leadership qualities, the highest ranked leadership quality was managerial qualities dimension. With the relationship between leadership qualities and project success, schedule success factor, relationship with stakeholders and health and safety success factor has significant positive relationship with leadership qualities.
