ABSTRACT

This second edition of the Strategic Project Leader prepares project managers to develop leadership competencies that translate into increased confidence to lead in a demanding environment. Like the first edition, this book motivates readers to take ownership of their leadership agenda and become disciplined in the processes of building a framework of leadership skills.
