Synopsis

ARE YOU FRUSTRATED THAT ALMOST EVERY TASK ON YOUR PROJECT IS TAKING LONGER THAN PLANNED? DO YOU WANT TO DELIVER YOUR PROJECTS FASTER SO YOU CAN ADVANCE IN YOUR CAREER? Project failure is common. You know that and you have experienced it first hand. You may believe that it is because of not using the right methodology or the right technology or both. In MANAGE LEAD TRANSFORM Shakeel Akhtar and Ayesha Hakim believe that project failure starts more at the task level because of team disengagement. How-to overcome this disengagement so that every task is done at the right time by the right person is the focus of this book. Their time-tested MLT framework will help you build a trusted system to first manage the project work and then lead a high performing team and finally transform an organization. By implementing each of their 15 processes, you not only reduce project timelines but also gain visibility to advance your project management career. Each of the 15 processes of the MLT framework can be implemented very quickly thereby realizing immediate benefit to your troubled project. You can get unstuck from fixing the same task management issues and the turnaround time of getting unstuck and moving in the right direction can happen in a week or two. Most of these processes can be implemented in parallel thus fast tracking your project delivery. The approach taken by the authors is holistic and so the successes can be transferred over to other projects within the organization thus helping you become a change agent. This book will help in your journey from a frustrated project manager to a transformational leader.
