This book is a must-read for anyone responsible for projects and
initiatives that span functional and geographical divides. Authors
Moran and Youngdahl bring extensive experience and learning from
industry practice to present a clear and straightforward treatment
of the leadership skills and knowledge required to lead projects
that are global in nature. They have written the first book of its
kind to address the three essential skills of global project
leaders - strategic project management, project leadership, and
cross-cultural leadership.
The authors argue that global project leadership is an essential
skill in our project-based world and that we are all either
intentional or accidental project leaders. Intentional project
leaders pursue formal project management education and even
certification whereas accidental project leaders find themselves
leading global project and initiatives as a result of a special
assignment or promotion. Moran and Youndahl have found that the
vast majority of global projects leaders fall into the accidental
category and have written the book to be accessible to those who
have not necessarily pursued formal project management education.
Experienced intentional project managers can skip the single
chapter on project management fundamentals to move to the more
advanced chapters addressing topics such as influencing without
formal authority across functional and geographical boundaries and
leading global projects at the edge of crisis.
- The only book that combines themes of strategic project
management, project leadership and cross-cultural leadership
- Rich with examples and stories to illustrate key skills and
knowledge required to lead globalprojects
*Only book to focus on leadership and cross-cultural skills in
global project management
*Robert Moran is well-known author in these fields
*Book is designed for easy use in executive education courses
