There are no shortcuts to achieving excellence in leadership. Seasoned project managers know that the qualities that bring about successful business results come from experience and daily practice. They also know that measurable improvements can come from simple, positive changes in how people work, interact, and grow together to create meaningful relationships. 9 Habits of Project Leaders is about transforming a good project manager into a great project leader by adding simple yet powerful habits to the project execution toolbox. The authors collected insights from more than 50 top-level project leaders from diverse industries, yielding the top common-sense habits of effective leadership, specifically tailored to the field of project management for the first time. This book provides a path for project managers—who are essentially in the "relationship business"—to engage, energize, and inspire their teams, and ultimately achieve their professional and project goals.
