The Art of Project Management
Slashdot has a good excerpt from Scott Berkuns The Art of Project Management:
“One myth of project management is that certain people have an innate ability to do it well, and others do not. Whenever this myth came up in conversation with other project managers, I always asked for an explanation of that ability‚Äîhow to recognize it, categorize it, and, if possible, develop it in others. After discussion and debate, the only thing we usually identified‚Äîafter considering many of the other topics and skills covered elsewhere in this book‚Äîis the ability to make things happen.”
