Abstract:
"This book is a book of inquiry and discovery, and offers a unique approach to project management. Unlike many other publications, it focuses on the human element, or, more specifically, the behavioural aspects of project management including emotional intelligence, organisational energy, stress and conflict management, power and political behaviour and managing a project as a change process. This work focuses on how to identify what underlies people's actions in order to ensure appropriate behaviour and sustainable project delivery."--Jacket
