Timely and well written

Clear, concise and very informative. This book gives every project manager at every level, insights that can easily be taken for granted or overlooked. The author clearly knows what he's talking about. It made me take a second look at the way projects have been evaluated. An interesting read even if you aren't in the field of project management. You can apply the principles in this book to everyday management.

I ordered the book a couple of days ago. Although I haven't finished exhausting it, it is an exciting read. As an entrepreneur juggling between leading a team and managing two businesses, I could easily identify with a lot of the success factors and principles essential for managing a project as well developing the right kind of atmosphere conducive for your teams to deliver the best. I also learnt a lot on how to identify the right people for various task and even whag to look for in hiring the best combination of skill and attitude. There is a lot to learn from how to manage major projects and how to arrest failing projects, as well as turn them around into successful completion. This is a book I will highly recommend every project management students to read, entrepreneurs, managers of both small, medium and large projects and leaders at various levels. It's none - technical and easy to read. An excellent book.
