by Lee R. Lambert

Book Overview

No other project management book has ever really "told it like it is" This personal journey through the project management career of one of the profession's thought leaders will inspire its readers to have the confidence they need to achieve their personal and professional objectives. Lee makes it clear that if you seriously consider developing the traits he suggests and employ the actions he took over five decades of involvement you too can take control of your "situation" and convert a "job" into a lifelong career Lee has always said, "It's your career, manage it" This is not a "how to" book. When it comes to using the project management methodology there are hundreds of excellent books that address that topic very well. This book is not about how fancy, sophisticated tools and automated systems can make the job of a project manager easier. It's not about the dozens of templates or cute little acronyms. It's not about the latest flavor of the day concepts (Earned Value, Six Sigma, Agile, etc.) or detailed spread sheets and multi-colored charts. This book IS about how the application of project management concepts, tempered by common sense thinking, and a focused dedication to success, will enable YOU to achieve (or exceed) your personal, professional, and financial objectives. Most project managers work hard. Successful project managers work harder. Project management ROCKSTARS work even harder, AND smarter You don't become a successful project manager by accident. The focus of the book is on how to use these fundamental concepts of project management as a catalyst for your personal development. You will learn the benefits and the risks associated with insisting on your personal visibility and the authority to make decisions. If you are waiting for someone else to advance your career, STOP. Get over it No one really cares about you-like you do. You and only you have the ability to control your own destiny. If you want to be a project management ROCKSTAR this book will help guide you to the top of your profession. Are you ready? Pay attention. Learn, and apply what you learned.The decision to write this book came after reflecting on my own career and seeing the results of actions I took (or didn't take) that allowed me the opportunity to use the project management process as my conduit to success. There are no guarantees that come with this book One thing I know for sure, I have no magic power. I simply took the initiative to find the opportunities and when I saw them I was not afraid to aggressively pursue them.
