I agree and disagree with Sergio. I think it's better to say you don't only need to be a leader, because the job is predominantly management. But certainly there are attributes of leadership that if not followed, will give you several issues during the project.

Thank you Nicole for your valued selection, looks good book and helped many others, I have got quite selections from all valued gurus here and will look for some time to explore those books.
To be a project manager you do not need to be a leader. First thing to understand to not waisted time is what does mean to be a leader into your company. Believe me, while I do not know about the company where you are working, you could surprise.
Sergio, Thank you for your good point I like the style of your answers often it is different from the crowd.

Is the way I thinking and behave. I do not write about things I do not know. I am always learning by researching and practice. In this case, the only thing that motivates myself to write in this post is to send this message: you do not need to be a leader for being a project manager. I found lot of times people that understand they can not perform project management because they do not have leadership skills. That is not true. Unfortunately I found lot of times that some people send messages because they want to sell something that jeopardizes the intention of development of other people. That is not good. About leadership there are a lot of it outside there.
Being humble, hungry, and smart (with people) are three properties of a great leader. Read "The Ideal Team Player" by Patrick Lencioni. A few other greats "Eat the Frog" Brian Tracey and The School of Greatness by Lewis Howes. Never stop being voracious in your search for betterment. Be a student for life.
Liana, thank you I got the smart and humble but I couldn't get the hungry cause I have different impression of been hungry That the person always wants more and can not have enough because always he is hungry for more. Saving Changes...

Yes I certainly see PM's as both managers and leaders :-)

For a quick reference, I like MindTools.com. You need a full membership for paid access, but there is a lot of free content on multiple leadership topics. Don't expect any one article to go in depth, but it's enough to get you started on a topic.
I agree with you on this website good one but the fees must be paid to gain full deep knowledge Saving Changes...
I often visit the harvard business review website. you can view 9 free articles per day (6 as a signed up user and 3 as a guest user). they have a subscription model too for unlimited access
