Book description

Almost all leadership books assume the leader has authority over their team members. The challenge in project management is that this is not always the case. A whole new plan of attack has to be executed for the project manager to deliver in an organization without formal authority. This book takes a unique approach to understanding the matrix structure and the tactics needed to succeed. It shows you proven strategies and behaviors that you can use to successfully deliver your projects, programs, and portfolios.
