It captures the essence of how talented people, including all the stakeholders, can work together to create and deliver a compelling vision and value for the greater good. As we all know, this capability, operational process, and these expected behaviors are needed more than ever for the good of us all. Thank you, Jim!

Jim Lewis has written a detailed how-to book on managing projects—and since all work is project work, it’s a crucial book for driving performance, especially with remote teams. His methods have stood the test of time, having been introduced in 1991, and I recommend you keep his book as a reference at all times.

His key ingredient is how to work creatively with people. The book is a must-read for all project managers who want to learn how to be effective project leaders.

Good project management is difficult. Lewis fills in the practical gaps where most project management texts fall short. This work empowers the reader by making project management real, fun, and accessible. If you are serious about project management, be prepared to dog-ear more than half of this book.
