Abstract:
In today's world of global transformations and transition to a knowledge economy, project management is undergoing significant changes. Digitalization, the development of artificial intelligence, changes in work formats, and increased social responsibility of businesses are forcing companies to rethink their management models. This article is devoted to researching the transformation of modern project management and the role of a new generation of leaders who are capable not only of managing projects, but also of forming a strategic vision, inspiring teams, and adapting to constant change. An analysis of the evolution of approaches to project management is carried out – from rigid hierarchical structures to flexible models based on collaboration, trust, and openness to feedback. The key factors influencing the transformation of the role of a leader are considered: digital technologies, globalization, cross-cultural interaction, the values of new generations of employees, and the high level of dynamism of the external environment. A list of key competencies for the new type of leader is highlighted, including emotional intelligence, digital literacy, strategic thinking, flexibility, the ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment, and the ability to create an environment for innovation. The main components of setting goals correctly using the SMART technology are analyzed. The types of employees and their characteristic leadership levels have been classified and described. It is shown that successful project management in the 21st century is impossible without a deep understanding of interpersonal dynamics, the ability to learn, and the development of trust within the team. The article also highlights the shift in project activity goals: from achieving operational efficiency to creating long-term value for customers and society through sustainable development. It concludes that the new project management paradigm should take into account both technological and social and environmental aspects of management. The article proposes a conceptual vision of the leadership of the future, capable of integrating strategic and emotional-social factors to achieve sustainable project development.

Keywords: project management, leadership, transformation, adaptability, digital competencies, flexible management, sustainable development.
