Book excerpt: From the beginning. The Project Manager's Survival Guide was intended as a list of ideas and thoughts--reminders about the things that are easy to forget but which always seem to come back and bite even the most experienced project manager. Many of these reminders come from executives, line managers, and project managers interviewed about their real-world experiences in project management. At the conclusion of each interview, they were asked to list the primary ways that projects, and project managers, get in trouble. Several chapters conclude with excerpts from these interviews. This new second edition of The Project Manager's Survival Guide is filled with checklists, quick assessment tools, and reminders that will prove valuable to even the most experienced project manager. Many of the chapters include a must read section, How To Get in Trouble, which identifies pitfalls common to project management. The book also includes self-evaluation exercises designed to help you think about your own effectiveness. Messages From the Brass lists top-management expectations and provides insights into project management from the perspective of the project manager's boss. New in this updated edition are a critical chapter on some of the unique aspects of dealing with international projects plus a revised team leader assessment instrument. Contents: Getting Started, The Project Manager's Role, Vision, Defining Goals and Objectives, Ownership, Planning, Organizing and Staffing, Team-Building, Running the Project, Reporting and Closedown, International Projects, A Self Assessment of Team-Oriented Leadership, The Project Manager's Checklist, Messages from the Brass

Corporations are counting on project managers more than ever to help them navigate these tough decisions. Do you have the right tools, team, skills, and data necessary to help your executives?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research scientists play a pivotal role in society. Their passion for science will drive them forward, leading to new discoveries that will ultimately make the world a better place. Unfortunately, as the professional environment becomes more and more competitive, research scientists today cannot just rely on technical knowledge to carve successful careers. Besides technical skills, they will need to acquire other skills, such as how to communicate their science to the outside world. A Survival Guide for Research Scientists is a one-stop-shop that will help you to develop those core skills not often taught at school or university. The book has been written by an author with more than 20 years of scientific research experience (across different scientific disciplines). She has not only been a research scientist but also a writer, a consultant, a sole-trader and a project manager. A Survival Guide for Research Scientists takes on a holistic approach in order to help you pave the way for success. As such, it features practical guidelines on how to: • conduct your scientific research (how to: do literature review, design experiments, adopt best practice, ensure health and safety, etc.). • write and edit (reports, bid proposals, peer review publications, etc). • interact with the outside world (be a team leader, manage a project, network, deal with difficult people, do presentations, organise meetings, etc.). • look after your career (and get your dream job). • look after yourself (and how to manage stress). • look for a job (develop your CV, prepare for interviews, etc.). • become self-employed (and achieve business success). • deal with redundancy (and move forward in life, etc) Whatever your scientific background may be, this book is the perfect accompaniment, to guide you at every stage of your career.
