Are you dreaming of being a project manager rock star with your pick of most the desirable, high-paying clients?
Effective project managers are the experts that companies want to hire — and top team members want to work for.
"You can make well over $100,000 with experience and effectiveness." (ProjectManager.com)
Wouldn’t you love to use all your skills, including leadership, communication, prioritization, organization, and teamwork? Your vision and the ability to execute on it are key to managing winning projects, not the degrees and certifications you have. You’re the one who would take all the resources and leverage them to fit all the pieces of the project puzzle together.
This book will reveal:
- Key competencies every project manager must master
- How to manage the triple constraint triangle to your advantage
- Creative solutions for solving problems
- Technical expertise, including knowing your business and industry
- Seven areas of your continuous improvement
- Leadership techniques to tackle risk and manage team members
- Bulletproof tips for getting the sponsor on your side
- Ways to implement productive PM culture
- How to execute strongly and close out a project early
- Six skills to level up your PM game
- Bonus: getting support from the management, sponsor, and stakeholders
Even if don’t have any experience in project management, plenty of companies offer entry-level positions where you can hone your skills, and you’ll learn what companies are looking for when they hire a project manager.
Once you put the suggestions in this audiobook into place, you’ll join successful project managers all over the world in an exciting, fast-paced career. Not only that, but you can use these skills to benefit all aspects of your life. If you want to achieve your goals of project manager stardom, then you should listen to this audiobook!

Underrated
As someone switching into the PM role, I find the content very useful. I've taken several paid courses, live classes, but this content rich book has given me more then an overview of the role but also given to a lot of eye-openers and solutions to possible setbacks a PM/BA can expect.

Avoid scope mistakes
As a perfectionist, I add other features and improvements to my “projects.” I call them projects even though I work on them mostly alone. The book is the right fit as it discusses how to close tasks effectively and avoid scope mistakes. I have to say “no” primarily to myself. 80% indeed means a project or assignment is generally complete, and most people are okay with it. This is the biggest added value for me.

For professionals and non-project managers
This book gave me answers to why most projects did not succeed in our company. The author presents the essential skills the project manager needs and how they can improve the culture, gain support from the sponsor, stakeholders, and team members. I liked the tips for closing tasks quickly and preventing scope creep. Understanding team members (bits of psychology) and being your team's best fan are the first stepping stones for an efficient team, which the author promises to level up in his next book, Being a Project Leader. Generally, I think the book fits very well with professionals and non-project managers who lead their initiatives and private projects. The narration is superb!
