Would you like to contribute to my next book?
I am currently in the process of writing my second book on Project Leadership - commissioned by Kogan Page - and am looking for contributions in terms of your insights and transformational stories.
The purpose of the book is to transform project managers into project leaders and to shift their predominant managerial, reactive and task oriented mind-set into one of empowerment, accountability, risk-taking and pro-activeness – and to show them how to better lead people.
The most important question I would like you to answer is;
"Can you remember any AHA moments or Eureka moments from your own career where you suddenly ‘got it’? You stepped up, shifted gear and started applying yourself as a leader of people, rather than a manager of events, tasks and processes? Please describe that moment and what it was that made you shift?" Please email you answer here.
The book will not only describe what project leadership is – and in which ways it is different to project management – but also help the project manager to make the transition. The book will reference a number of inspirational interviews and stories from project management experts and people who themselves have made the transition from overwhelmed project manager to impactful project leader. This is where you come in! I intend to use your stories, tips and tools to engage the reader and inspire them to step up and lead.
If you have a story or some insights you would like to share, please download the below document, and answer the questions; preferably as soon as possible. Your contributions are highly appreciated and you will of course be credited in the book with your name and credentials.

"This book is a management masterpiece. The topics are very well structured. The concepts are detailed in such a way that it's very simple to understand and easy to apply. For every concept/topic, the book has a very 'good practical/exercise' section. It's a very interesting book. There are a lot of 'wow' moments in the book. This book will definitely lifts the confidence. It's not just a book, it's an experience." - Bala Ethirajalu |
