According to studies by major think tanks, few projects finish on
time, within budget, or meet customer requirements. The number one
problem, cited by these studies, is a failure on the people side of
project management, stemming from ineffective or inadequate
leadership. While certainly not the only cause of project failures,
exhibiting effective leadership throughout the entire life cycle of
any project is key to achieving success. Drawing on the principles
and research findings of Organizational Engineering (OE), this book
explains how project managers can adopt the most appropriate
leadership style under a given set of circumstances. Leading
High-Performance Projects helps project managers encourage greater
teaming, become more effective decision-makers, reduce incidences
of negative conflict, and eliminate opportunities for ""negative
energy"" to permeate a project. The Results - readers will learn
how to become more efficient, more effective, more productive, and
consequently, more successful project managers.
