Conflicts

I encounter many conflicts in projects where I participate. The author presents great strategies. Firstly, they need to be classified and one of the approaches chosen. Also, other parts of the book are beneficial. It is well researched and inspirational.

From easy to complex projects

The principles written in the book can be applied to any size of a project. A project manager can be assigned to a project according to their experience. However, regardless you are a starting PM or an experienced one, you will find the right skills in this book.

A guide to successful projects of any size

I found thebook very practical for non-project managers. I lead many initiatives and process improvements that can be managed as little projects. I cooperate with people, and there, the leadership skills come into play. Peter offers all leadership, interpersonal and communication skills that are essential for project management. I particularly liked advanced problem-solving skills. I struggled with certain conflict situations, but the advice to classify them per category helped me view them differently and apply an effective method. The author provides basic and advanced techniques accompanied by a practical negotiation checklist that helps me prepare for difficult meetings. The narration is very engaging.

101 for any manager

I am not a professional project manager but have broad management experience. Projects create situations that are more intensive than my daily management routine. Therefore, I recommend this book to any manager. If you can lead projects, then you can lead a process or department.

A newbie’s view

This is my first book about project management. It seems to be very comprehensive and contains many good points. I will try following them.

A project leader like CEO

I like comparing a project leader to a CEO because both are indeed leading a part or the whole organization to a strategic goal. This is done with people and teams. As the author declares, you have to take and manage risks, keep the direction and be able to make unpopular decisions. This is an excellent resource for managers.

Must listen for all project manager!

Listen to this book with attention, as it will transform and enhance your vision of project management! The author shares his knowledge and troubleshooting techniques. Your soft skills will be improved with the help of the book.
This book has powerful tips on how to build a team from zero, negotiate with clients, and much more priceless information. I’m going to relisten it again as it completely new effective philosophy of LEADING people that I’m going to implement into my mind.

A must-read for an aspiring PM

I strongly recommend this audio for project managers of whatever level who want to make a difference.

Interesting content.

Got a lot of information from this book. In my experience, good leaders exhibit a few of the skills presented in this book. Very practical for not only project management but other business and personal aspect of life.

Teamwork

A project is about teamwork. Building a dream team that delivers is the goal of every PM. The audiobook contains guidelines to achieve these. However, as with other soft skills, these must be implemented and built, which requires practice. The book will take you through the most important PM skills.
