“Successful project management is ultimately about effective communication and more broadly, about effective people management. Most books, however, deal largely with process – the mechanical, methodological side – and play down the human side. ‘The project manager’ is a fresh approach to project management: it moves beyond the formal methodologies and techniques to shed light on the core skills that will make you a great project manager. It puts the project manager centre stage and provides you with an invaluable set of experience-based lessons, tips, and advice to help you consistently deliver the results you want. Whether you are a project manager yourself, or someone who works with or recruits projects managers, this book will be essential reading” – in book jacket.
