Research shows that there is no 'model' project manager. Every individual approaches project management in a different way, bringing with them a unique set of skills and experiences that they devote to getting the job done in the best way they know how. Becoming a good project manager is often first and foremost about self-development. This ebook gives a huge range of ideas and tips on issues such as time management, career progression, managing a personal brand, and navigating office politics. It also presents some great case studies of when it all went wrong: project managers in difficult situations and how they rose to the challenge. This is one section of the book "Shortcuts to Success".
