Project Leadership, the classic, best-selling textbook, originally by Wendy Briner, Michael Geddes and Colin Hastings, anticipated so many of the changes in approaches to project management that are now regarded as mainstream; not least the whole behavioural management focus. The third edition by Sarah Coleman and Donnie MacNicol, has been substantially rewritten, introducing new material and experience reflecting the transformation that has taken place in the world of projects, teams and leadership.Project Leadership, Third Edition, looks at the nature the leadership role in projects and how this is significant and impacts the processes throughout a project life, from shaping and scoping, start up, delivery to project closure. The authors put considerable emphasis on a set of core human skills around the themes of vision and strategy, relationship building, communication and engagement. There are also chapters to help you to build personal and organizational leadership capability.
