In this highly accessible guide, you'll not only learn about their answers, you'll also receive the practical tools, techniques and knowledge you need to develop the skills they identified as most important to project success.

Leadership is not a set of elusive traits. It is a practical competency, a concrete set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that you can use to improve you and your team's effectiveness.
