Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-26 00:00:00 Steven Ricks I listened to this book on audio not sure what to expect. Projects are such a part of every leader's day. Generally if I am not leading a project, I'm on a project team, and at the least I have tasks for a project. I only gave this book 3 stars, because the depth of the topic was much greater than I needed therefore the topic tended to lose my attention. There was as great deal of talking about the math behind projects (NPV, etc) that currently is not applicable to the projects I lead (Continuous Improvement Kaizen). The author does cover some VERY good points that are relevant no matter how big or small your project is. I specifically liked his discussion later in the book regarding if people aren't pulling their weight and how to approach if the project is not attainable. This book is for Professional Project Managers - people who have budgets to manage, milestones to report, and who's primary job is to manage 1 or 2 major projects. If I find myself in a position where I am overseeing a few MAJOR long term projects, I will not only relisten to this audio - I will definitely purchase this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-21 00:00:00 William Cook Unlike many books that focus on how to manage a project, this book is very special. It explains how the human factor, relations, buy in, other tactics can help you to manage your project. It takes you through out all phases of projects and in every phase explains the impact you could do if you consider the interpersonal prospective. I strongly recommend reading it.
