      abstract = {This research explores how human-centered leadership?an evolved model combining emotional intelligence, empowerment, and adaptive communication?affects the cohesion and performance of engineering project teams. With the increasing complexity of infrastructure and development projects, technical managers are now expected to lead with empathy, clarity, and responsiveness in addition to their technical skills. A survey was conducted among 15 engineers and technical staff across various firms to evaluate their project leaders based on eight modified leadership traits rooted in human-centered leadership: clarity of purpose, emotional intelligence, adaptability, accountability, innovation encouragement, trust-building, team inclusiveness, and results orientation. Findings suggest that clarity of purpose and trust-building were the most influential in driving team morale and productivity. This study recommends leadership development programs that integrate emotional and social competencies tailored for the engineering context.},
