The main objective of this book is to enable Project Leaders and Managers learn (or re-learn) how to stand out and excel in today's unforgiving business world. Based on human psychology and decades of combined knowledge and experience leading hundreds of agile, waterfall and hybrid projects in all industries, all over the world. You will learn how to use applied psychology to lead teams and individuals; how the six tenets: scope, benefit, cost, risk, quality and time will guide you towards successful project delivery; how to mind-read and engage project stakeholders; how to plan and manage tasks that have long lead times; how to look after your team and yourself, and much more. In today's unforgiving business world, excellent Project Leadership is rapidly growing as a must-have for an organisation to be successful. More and more organisations are realising the value and certainty that Project Leadership and Management can bring. An organisation increases its chances of success by being able to successfully deliver projects on time and within budget, provided, of course, that the projects create benefits for the organisation and key stakeholders. As more professionals enter the field of project management, similar to the days of the gold rush, it becomes more critical for you, as a practitioner, to excel and hone your skills. Note though, the merchants who supplied gold-digging tools tended to fair much better than the miners that did the actual digging. Similarly, in an increasingly crowded project management terrain, fortune will favour those who look beyond merely delivering projects by rote. This book introduces a mental dimension to leadership, and offers you the edge required to excel. The core of the principles and concepts introduced in this book are based on human psychology. Leadership, after all, is mental - and can make you so, if care is not taken. The book is packed with several personal examples, unique insights from experienced Project Leaders and Managers, together with real-life scenarios and tips, which you can apply to your own situations.
