An invaluable set of experience-based lessons

Successful project management is ultimately about effective communication, and more broadly, effective people management. Most books, however, deal largely with process - the mechanical, methodological side, and play down the human side.

The Project Manager is a fresh approach to project management: it moves beyond the formal methodologies and techniques to shed light on the core skills that will make you a great project manager. It puts the project manager centre stage and provides you with an invaluable set of experience-based lessons, tips, and advice to help you consistently deliver the results you want.

Whether you are a project manager yourself, or someone who works with or recruits project managers, this book will be essential reading.

Product description

From the Back Cover

“ … [shows what] really makes projects and project managers successful. A must read for everyone interested in understanding what levers to pull to improve their delivery capability.”Perry Childs, Director, Childs Consulting.

"A simply written and well structured book that is a crucial support for both experienced project / programme managers and people new to the project management environment.” Paul Gilhooley, Project Director, Openreach (a BT Group business)

Processes don't drive projects; people do.

Hello and welcome to my author page!

I'm a professional writer and have been publishing since 2004. Many of my books are non-fiction and can be grouped into that broad category of "getting things done". With these, I aim to be clear, comprehensive and enjoyable to read. My books have been translated into 17 languages and won awards, including the Management Book of the Year. In 2019, I wrote my first novel, a new departure for me - although I've been writing fiction for years, this is the first time I've published it. A follow up is due in 2021.

Outside of writing, I like to keep myself busy. I'm always flipping between being a writer, consultant, and speaker working internationally - as well as travelling, walking in the mountains, studying philosophy and reading loads! I live part time in the Cotswolds in the UK, and part time in Tatra mountains in Poland.

Feel free to contact me. I'm on various sites - friend me on Goodreads to see what I am reading and my reviews of every book I read, find me on LinkedIn, check out my website at www.enixus.co.uk, follow me on twitter @RJNtalk or see my Youtube channel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book on project management
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2018
Verified Purchase
The book is excellent. I have a PRINCE2 qualification and experience in project management, and I this book is a brilliant guide to project management. A good reminder on what is required to deliver a successful project, where the focus should be. It is very practical, easy to read. It is based on what project managers have to deal with in real life projects and it provides guidance/advice on what skills are required, or a PM should improve on, to deliver projects successfully. I am definitely taking the advice from this book into my development as a PM, and I can also see what I could have done better in the past projects. I am recommending this book to any project manager or someone who wants to become a PM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful companion tool
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2017

Very insightful book. Am currently studying my Prince2 and am finally this is very useful companion due to the way the chapters are structured. Anyone who has studied Prince will know that it can be quite dry to absorb in larger chunks and therefore this is much lighter and easier to comprehend. I can't promise that it will help you pass any exams but it is a valued read.
