Once they understand what it takes to be the best, they do whatever they can to assure success. What Makes a Good Project Manager offers a clear and succinct description of what it takes to be a competent project manager. The essays, book excerpts, and other materials in this book focus on key personal skills and interpersonal abilities that lead to project manager success, such as mentoring, decision-making, facilitating, and communication. The skills assessment at the end of the book is a good place to start in order to focus on issues of primary concern to the reader.
