project leader


Explanation:
based on this : LE PORTEUR DE PROJET





La définition de son projet personnel est, pour tout créateur d’entreprise, une étape très importante.
Une création est avant tout l'affaire d'un individu qui se révèlera ou non être « l'homme de la situation » face aux contraintes et aux sollicitations de son projet.
Les composantes de ce projet personnel passent par une approche de ses motivations, de son bilan personnel (personnalité, compétences, expérience, potentiel), et de ses contraintes personnelles.

in fact, a Google search gives always - project leaders as being leadership and not the co-workers (though one could argue that the co-workers are really "carrying" the project, but...)

disagree  Charlie Bavington: Sorry, but the project leader is the person in charge of doing the work. The "porteur" is the person who wants the work done. Its like the difference between maitrise d'ouvrage & m. d'oeuvre

disagree  df49f (X): agree with Charlie - le porteur is the project sponsor

Explanation:
Bit of a business buzzword, this translation is in one of my personal glossaries, sadly with no reference as to where I got it (!) but it's the project sponsor, the person who "brings" the project to the table, as it were.

agree  David Sirett: Yes, usually "project sponsors" in Eurospeak, though "project developers" also seen. Also in international development aid, though "project backers" also used.
