Book Description
Talk with a few CEOs and non-technical VPs. Ask how their organizations handle projects. If they refer you to a project manager or the training department, you can be relatively sure they are operating with a one-legged stool. And their enterprise is likely wobbling from low employee engagement, late-to-market products, budget overruns, or other difficulties. The leaders of project-driven organizations view "projects" as the main structure through which work gets accomplished. They recognize that mission-critical projects can exist anywhere in a company-IT, R&D, Manufacturing, HR, Sales, Marketing, Financial, you name it. This means every employee in the organization has a role in producing great project outcomes. These leaders consciously engineer hiring practices, work processes, and organizational structure to deliver finely tuned project results. They remove obstacles and build high-speed rail lines to facilitate progress. Senior management can tell you enthusiastically how they are shaping all three legs-people, projects, and organizational structure. Everything's a Project describes how to become a world-class project-driven organization. You'll read 70 lessons that others have learned the hard way. And you'll gain tools and techniques for delivering consistently excellent project results and immediately improving corporate performance.

Book Description
In the spirit of The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning and The Joy of Less, experience the benefits of buying less and sharing more with this accessible 7-step guide to decluttering, saving money, and creating community from the creators of the Buy Nothing Project. In their island community, friends Liesl Clark and Rebecca Rockefeller discovered that the beaches of Puget Sound were spoiled by a daily influx of plastic items and trash washing on shore. From pens and toothbrushes to toys and straws, they wondered, where did it all come from? Of course, it comes from us—our homes, our backyards, our cars, and our workplaces. And so, a rallying cry against excess stuff was born. In 2013, they launched the first Facebook Buy Nothing Project group in their small town off the coast of Seattle, and they never expected it to become a viral sensation. Today there are thousands of Buy Nothing groups all over the world, boasting more than a million members, and 5,000 highly active volunteers. Inspired by the ancient practice of gift economies, where neighbors share and pool resources,The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan introduces an environmentally conscious 7-step guide that teaches us how to buy less, give more, and live generously. At once an actionable plan and a thought-provoking exploration of our addiction to stuff, this powerful program will help you declutter your home without filling landfills, shop more thoughtfully and discerningly, and let go of the need to buy new things. Filled with helpful lists and practical suggestions including 50 items you never need to buy (Ziploc bags and paper towels) and 50 things to make instead (gift cards and salad dressing), The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan encourages you to rethink why you shop and embrace a space-saving, money-saving, and earth-saving mindset of buying less and sharing more.

Book Description
Take one Project Management process, add a very tiny little business and what do you have? An overwhelmed business owner/project sponsor/project owner who needs help managing their projects, but doesn't have the time or need for stacks of paper or long, drawn-out processes, and they also don't have the time or money to hire a PM consultant. But guess what? It isn't just small business owners, entrepreneurs or solopreneurs who need to save time but still come out with a successful project.Where Books 1 through 5 of this series presented a more robust Project Management process to teach you how to manage projects at work, Book 6 reveals how to slim it all down into one nice, neat little package that'll have you sailing through any and all projects you need to do whether you work for a gigantic corporation or are your own boss. Take heart, because pretty much everything you need to do can be done on one page, and Christine Rose shows you how!We also delve into the mislabeled, misunderstood and largely erroneous concept of Time Management, a concept which sets us up for complete failure because as currently defined, it's absolutely impossible to achieve. Christine's tools, tips and tricks, and her insights into what TM is really all about, will give you an aha moment that's sure to set you up for success managing yourself, your project teams and your life.

Book Description
THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUCCESS GUIDE 2ND EDITION: Everything You Need To Know About Construction Contracts, Estimating, Planning And Scheduling, Skills To Manage Trades And Home Renovations You're about to discover how to the re-emergence of the real estate market sparked renewed optimism in construction. Across different states in the country, residential construction jobs are being undertaken in order to satisfy the demands in housing. Since residential construction projects are still a business (except when you want to build your own home), the idea is to build enough living spaces and to offer them to prospective clients or leasers at an affordable price. Of course the success of such a goal still lies on income and the general economic outlook, but one thing is for certain: now that the housing crisis is over, more people will look forward getting a place to call their home.

Book Description
Project management is one of the fastest-growing occupations in the world. The Project Management Institute has seen membership growth of more than 1000% in the last 10 years. But while many of these managers know how to plan a successful project in theory, very few have the practical tools needed to navigate the politics of today’s corporate world. Project managers need more than just technical skills; they need the right communication skills to succeed. Filled with real-world examples, Project Management That Works gives readers the tools they need to: communicate with their team as well as stakeholders • get their teams to function well • run fewer and more productive meetings • turn around failing projects • utilize data properly to make emotional conversations unemotional • know when a project is really done The only book that addresses the real challenges project managers face today, this is an accessible and invaluable tool that will show every reader how to accomplish his mission—no matter the obstacles.
