The best project managers assume responsibility for their actions. They realize that they are totally accountable for project (and personal) success or failure. 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.

<p>Seven Steps to Strategy Execution describes a carefully planned approach to execution that is needed to attain organizational straegic goals and objectives and offers organizations a framework against which to map their progress in creating what the authors call Strategy Performance Management. SPM is an approach to business success that integrates aspects of the organization that too often operate asynchronously: Strategy Management, Project Portfolio Management, Program/Project Management, Information Technology, Structure, Culture, and People. This approach gives organizations a logical framework to help them communicate strategy to the people and processes that make it a reality. And it further builds organizational capability by continually measuring performance against the organization's selected strategy performance metrics.</p>
