How the Great Ones Do It

By: Joe Egan

Narrated by: Joseph R Egan

Many want to achieve success in being a project manager, but not everyone is given a roadmap on how to get there. Think about it. You worked hard, got promoted into a project management position and then what?

Having risen from the entry level, Joe Egan, shares over 45 years of his knowledge and experiences in, Construction Project Management: How the Great Ones Do It.

Joe puts you in the driver’s seat and gives you a roadmap to become more than an "OK" project manager. You are the navigator, you can ascend to success or descend to failure.

Having perseverance and courage are just two tools that you need to add to your box. One of the best ways to achieve what you want in life, is to have a plan to get there. Create your roadmap. In doing so, you will have access to great opportunities, enduring relationships, and monetary success.

Excellent!!!

Great book for the emotional and relational aspects of construction and can easily be applied to other industries and every aspect of life.

Basic Book

This book covers basic leadership and common sense business practices. Purchase the book outright, don't use a credit.

Good for personal development

I agree with another reviewer above. fantastic for personal growth and identifying places you may need to grow your management style but nothing about construction. as in there no specifics regarding any of the processes of construction start to finish but how different scenarios within the process can challenge your character and fortitude. very good narrator though. likeable type voice.

Frank and Compelling.

I enjoyed my first listen and am about to listen again. As written in the review title, this book, read by the author, is both frank and compelling. Having many years of business myself in project management, I found it frank, in that he writes from and Shaws his experiences; and compelling as it compels me on my path. Thank you.

Suffered through 30min

I’m unsure of where to begin with this gem. For 30 min it was a generic feel good pump you up positive thinking and importance of character monologue. I gave up once the narrator reveals his cards about his religious faith based truths. Spent my entire life having that ground into me and at this point in my life I don’t need your faith based opinions. Came for real substantial tools for project management. Ended up in some Tony robins feel good life success seminar. Yes your mind and how you perceive yourself and conduct yourself are pretty foundational to success but we’re past that I have some real production and project management deficiencies that don’t some stoic work yourself into the dirt solution.
