Essential People Skills for Project Managers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provided a great overview of how to effectively work with project team members through the stress and challenges that projects pose. I read it initially in 2005 and recently just reread it again. It helped me look at the PM role from many different perspectives, including that of mentor.

People issues are the challeges that keep most of us awake at night. How do we motivate the team? How do we manage the conflicts? How do we tone down the stress levels? This book gives practical advice that can be immediately applied.

My favorite part was the chapter on dealing with critical incidents - when tramatic events strike the project team. I keep this advice on standby knowing it will save my project some day. My least favorite part was a subchapter regarding individual personality styles. But even that is applicable.

So I very highly recommend reading this book!
