Riassunto

Anyone can build a Gantt chart. Leading people through what happens next is the real job.

Most project managers get the title before anyone teaches them the hardest parts of the work: making decisions without all the facts, delivering bad news, leading people who don't report to them, and staying steady when the plan falls apart. This book teaches those skills, in plain language, with tools you can use on Monday morning.

Now revised and expanded, this edition keeps the ten essential skills from the original and adds what new project managers ask for most: the how.

The 10 things you'll master:

• Uncertainty: lead calmly when you don't have the full picture
• Planning: build plans that survive contact with reality
• Communication: deliver clarity, not just information
• Time: find the critical path and catch small slips early
• Stakeholders: manage expectations and turn "no" into "yes, if"
• Risk: spot problems before they happen and plan real responses
• Change: control scope creep without damaging relationships
• Conflict: turn friction into better decisions
• Leadership: influence people you have no authority over
• Yourself: handle pressure, self-doubt, and burnout

Inside this edition:

• A real-world scenario, a full case study, and a 7-day practice plan in every chapter
• 28 ready-to-use templates, including an issue brief, risk register, change request form, and status report
• 20 "What would you do?" practice scenarios with suggested approaches
• Word-for-word scripts for the conversations new project managers find hardest
• A 90-day plan for your first months in the role
• A guide to landing your first project management job, including interview questions
• PMP® exam connections in every chapter

Who this book is for: engineers, analysts, coordinators, and specialists who have been handed their first project; professionals considering a move into project management; and working project managers who want to get better at the human side of the job.
