Our research aims to identify the elements that determine a manager to be a good leader and how the performance of project teams in an automotive company is closely related to the manager's activity. For this, we conducted a simple descriptive, cross-sectional research, which involved collecting information about the problem under investigation by conducting the research only once, on a sample of respondents who were administered a questionnaire with 17 questions divided into three parts. The results obtained after processing the obtained results helped us identify those elements that determine a manager to be a good leader, but also how the performance of project teams is closely related to the activity carried out by the manager.
