Hot Chili and Cold Beer for the Project Manager's Soul Donald A. Pillittere

Project managers are a different breed, hardened through years of missed milestones, budget overruns, dysfunctional teams and unrealistic management edicts with the battle scars to prove it. Besides the CEO, no other person has a greater impact on the profitability of a corporation than a project manager. This indubitable book provides real-life experiences of project managers in the quest to succeed against all odds. Presented as a series of short stories each chapter focuses on how the project manager turns "Chaos into Cash" using the four "Ps" of project management: Processes, People, Parts and Phenomena. So relax, pour a cold beer, grab a bowl of hot chili and enjoy The Good, the Bad and the Utterly Random concerning one of the most essential, unpredictable and unsung responsibilities in business.
