This is a must-read..." --Gerry Aquino, Organizational Development and Learning, Össur Americas, Inc. " Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager is the best business improvement book that I have ever read. This book will become the guide for all of our future projects. . . . Any person who follows the advice in this book will find a tremendous, positive impact on their career." --Tim Rancourt, President of Engineering and Manufacturing at Northern Tool + Equipment "Finally! A project management book that acknowledges and supports the 'people' part of projects. . . . Practicing the Four Foundational Behaviors will help every 'unofficial' project manager engage their team." --Deanna Carrera, Director of Leadership and Learning at First Things First "In this age of lean corporate headcount, everyone, no matter what their title, is required to fill the role of project manager. And the new book, Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager, covers the core areas that any project professional needs to be successful." --Robert Fitt, Sr. Director of Human Resources, Broadcom Corporation "If you are involved with executing projects of any size, you owe it to yourself, and your team to read this book." --Kenneth Johnson, Director of Training and Development, State of Colorado "Sometimes we think as projects as large capital expenditures, but often all of our work is an 'unofficial' project, and too often, we find ourselves ill equipped to manage the process to a successful outcome.
