Description

There is an old saying that "your attitude determines your altitude." People with a positive, constructive attitude achieve much greater success than those with neutral or negative attitudes. This book explores the impacts of attitude on project success. Examining the importance of a project manager's attitude in motivating a team, dealing with project stakeholders, and overcoming issues, the book contrasts the outcomes of both positive and negative attitudes. Full of case studies illustrating the key concepts, the book shows how project managers can change their way of thinking, plan for success, take advantage of the power of commitment, convert project issues into opportunities, communicate more effectively, deal effectively with negativity and fear, and effectively use persistence to increase the chances for project success. With the right positive attitude, problems seem to melt away. Don't get caught up in negativity surrounding project issues and risks, because... Today is a Good Day!
