Sample Book Insights:

#1 The majority of people we’ve interviewed say that between 60 and 80 percent of their work is project based. But when we ask if they are project managers, virtually all say no. They are anything but project managers.

#2 If you spend a large portion of your day working on projects, you are also an unofficial project manager. And you’re not alone. A lot of us have quietly slipped into that role, and we’re fighting project failure every day as we try to push through to a deadline.

#3 The first step in becoming a better project manager is to pick up a book on project management. The books available on the market are written from the point of view of a formal, official project manager, while this book focuses on the people on your team and how to lead them.

#4 Projects fail for many of the same reasons that people fail projects: a lack of commitment and support from management, unrealistic timelines, too many competing priorities, unclear outcomes and expectations, and so on.
