The Making of a Project Manager Who Climbed to the Top

The Qualities of a Project Manager Who Turned the Tables once again reveal what is etched into the bones of a project manager who rose from “firefighter” to “helmsman” and fought his way to success: He plans like a chess player, leveraging limited resources to secure the best returns. He communicates like water, easing conflicts and building consensus. He understands technology, but understands human nature even better. He wins over his boss with his credibility and personal magnetism, and leads his team through crises with sincerity. Behind his rise, the brilliance of his wide-ranging knowledge and the wisdom to turn every pitfall into a stepping stone are always shining through. There are no miracles here, only the practical philosophy of how an ordinary person can play a bad hand well with expertise, responsibility, and a little grit. His project cases have become the company’s project-management encyclopedia, and he has made project management into a textbook. His peers can always learn something from his experience.
