Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's 'more for less' culture, the expectations of project management and delivery are no longer limited to budgets, schedules and quality. For projects to make an impact and have lasting value, the project manager must be able to strategize, innovate, motivate, empower and collaborate - in other words, project managers must learn how to lead. The Power of Project Leadership helps you transform into an effective project leader by shifting your managerial mindset into one of inspiration, motivation and influence. The book describes what good project leadership looks like and explains how to make the transition using concrete tools and strategies. With underlying theories to help the reader understand how teams and individuals are motivated, it ensures that project managers lead with vision, continuously improve and innovate, work with intent, empower the team, get closer to stakeholders, remain authentic and establish a solid foundation for their projects. The book has a practical and engaging approach and draws on over 25 interviews with leading experts who have made the transition from project managers to project leaders. These experts come from a variety of sectors and companies; including Expedia, British Gas, Standard Bank, Verizon Enterprise Solutions, Liquid Planner, and the UK Government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Projects generally require skills and effort from multiple disciplines to develop project deliverables. Projects are executed in teams, as project tasks require multiple skills, judgment, and experience. Project teams roles should be assigned based on strengths of individuals. Project team process is a mediating mechanism linking variables such as members, team, and organizational characteristics that include structure, culture, supporting systems, performance and incentive systems, employee morality, and top management support. Team performance or teamwork is impacted by the structure of a team. Team structural characteristics include the number of team members, the status hierarchy, roles and responsibilities, and accepted norms for behaviors of individuals within the team. Further, understanding characteristics of virtual teams and their key attributes for improving global project performance are of critical importance. Social and behavioral skills that each person brings are important influencing factors in interactions with other team members and in forming a cohesive and productive team. Also, organization and national cultures influence their behaviors. Project Teams is an attempt to address all these topics in detail and offer a practical approach to managing projects successfully in the current business environment by including concepts, processes, techniques, and tools to manage and enhance performance of project teams and projects. This book would be meaningful for project management professionals and project managers in any organization and can be a useful resource for academic institutions in teaching management and project management disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hier kommt der dritte und letzte Band der Trilogie zu Six Sigma, der den wohl wichtigsten Aspekt der Six Sigma Implementation behandelt - die Teamdynamik. Während die beiden Vorgängertitel "Six Sigma Revolution" die strategische Seite und "Making Six Sigma Last" die kulturelle Seite einer erfolgreichen Six Sigma Implementation behandeln, beschäftigt sich der neue Band "Six Sigma Team Dynamics" mit der letzten Komponente - der Verbesserung von Abläufen, d.h. verbesserter Teamarbeit. Dieser 3. Band erläutert ausführlich, warum eine erfolgreiche Einführung von Six Sigma wesentlich von der guten Zusammenarbeit im Team abhängt und der Anwendung bewährter Methoden zur Definition, Messung, Analyse, Verbesserung und Steuerung der Abläufe. Autor George Eckes geht hier detailliert auf die enorme Bedeutung der Teamdynamik und die unterschiedliche Rollenverteilung und Verantwortung aller Teammitglieder ein, die die letzte Hürde für eine erfolgreiche Six Sigma Implementation darstellen. George Eckes ist weltweit der angesehenste und erfolgreichste Six Sigma Experte.
