When was the last time you felt stressed and exhausted at work?
Chances are your answer to that question is "not too long ago". As the author realized from first-hand experience, even well-prepared, hard-working, intelligent people can feel the strain of project management. This book presents a comprehensive set of approaches, tips and techniques that enable you to make projects more effective, successful and enjoyable.
Leading Impactful Teams is a lively exploration of the "lenses" of project management - Scope, Prioritisation, Time, Cost, Quality, Risks, Team and Stakeholders - that will enable the reader to develop a "sixth sense" for potential issues that could derail their project. Replete with over 50 imaginative illustrations to explain the insights and practices that are packed into every page, the stories and ideas in this book go way past the theories and bring the reality of projects to life. It will help you understand how to make your project a success and avoid unnecessary complications.
This is a powerful book for anyone involved in project management, be it at work or outside of it. James Louttit shares his refreshing, engaging and human approach, to provide you with a practical toolkit to help you and your team deliver great project outcomes with minimum stress and maximum fun.
Rezension:
"Leading projects and teams can be rewarding, for sure. But it can undoubtedly be stressful. There are risks. Constraints. And people! James has crafted a practical book that helps take some of the stress out of the process. It's an enjoyable read from a guy who knows what he's talking about. Regardless of your level of project management expertise, you'll pick up ideas to help you lead and deliver. Highly recommended!" - Andy Kaufman, host of the People and Projects Podcast
"A strong, motivated and unified team is essential to delivering change, no matter what the circumstances. In Leading Impactful Teams, James Louttit sets out how to bring people with diverse talents and viewpoints together in an effective way and motivate them to achieve their full potential." - Roderick O'Gorman, Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth of Ireland
