To achieve this aim, deductive approach was1. BACKGROUNDadopted. The sample size of the investigation was 234 andProjects are the main elements of the today’s world. Thedata was collected from NGOs. Data was collectedthrough convenience sampling technique from 234respondents with the help of questionnaires. The datacollected was then analyzed by using SPSS in order toexamine the relationships. The outcomes demonstrate thatinclusive leadership is emphatically connected projectsuccess.
