The Project Leader’s Playbook
Around 60% of projects worldwide fail, i.e. they do not achieve their goals. Although the spread of project management methods has led to a slight improvement in recent years, we are still faced with this situation. We need to move away from a pure project management approach and towards a project leadership approach. This book provides project managers and executives with a roadmap to transform from project managers to project leaders. Translated from the German language edition, Project-Leadership: So entwickeln Sie sich vom Projektmanager zum Project-Leader (Springer Gabler Berlin, 2024), this book provides the six elements of how to develop and lead teams through a project to its successful completion. Supported by numerous practical examples and applicable tools, this book ensures a high level of practical transfer.
