Review

"Projects become more complex every day, not only from a technical point of view but especially from a leadership point of view. The Power of Project Leadership is provided to all participants of a leadership training programme for our senior project managers. They use it frequently during and after their leadership journey and appreciate its practical approach." * Saskia van der Meij, Director Talent Learning & Development Royal BAM Group *"The Power of Project Leadership combines the human element into project management theory, giving us an effective roadmap to find ways of managing demanding pressures, and developing the art to achieve project success." * Sarah Jane Woods, Public Services Project Manager and Life Coach *"I loved this book the first time, and the revised edition is even better. Fully updated, this edition goes deep into strategies to help you lead yourself and your team more effectively. The book goes beyond theory - although you can tell the text is well-grounded in research - to give you practical tactics that you can use daily at work. When you combine powerful techniques and a willingness to do the work, you have a blend that will help you excel at delivering organisational strategy through projects. Susanne makes it easy by stepping you through the 'keys' to leadership, and you can pick and choose the approaches you think will make the most difference with your team." * Elizabeth Harrin, FAPM, author of 'Project Manager', Director Otobos Consultants Ltd, award-winning blogger GirlsGuideToPM.com *"The 2nd edition of The Power of Project Leadership is bang up-to-date with the latest information needed for project leaders and retains the energy and commitment borne out of Susanne's personal experience, which made the original such a success. This new edition is ambitious for you and for the profession and asks you to reflect on your own progression as a project leader. It recognises that internal work may be challenging, so it is written in an engaging manner, combining a practical framework with inspirational stories from practitioners, to keep you engaged." * Carole Osterweil, author of Project Delivery, Uncertainty and Neuroscience *"The new edition of this book develops from the foundation laid by the first edition and layers new models and new thinking into the leadership practices for project managers. If you read the first edition, there is plenty of new material on which to build. If this is your first entry into the topic, there is a wealth of information combined with practice with which to develop your skills." * Ruth Pearce, ACC, JD, PMP, coach, project motivator, and author of Be a Project Motivator *"Whether you are an experienced practitioner looking to reflect and hone your skills, or setting out with a goal to become an inspirational leader of projects, this book provides the insight to do so. Highly recommended. All my team have a copy. I'm that confident of the effect it will have on my business." * Paul Daniels, Leadership and Management Ltd (about previous edition) *"In this great and inspiring book, Susanne has gathered the core elements and key insights to bring you the essence of project leadership. It contains coaching questions that challenge you to think about yourself, assess your situation and commit to becoming the leader you wish to be.
