Glue

“Glue offers a rare gift to project managers. It artfully blends specific step-by-step recommendations of how to move from project management to project leadership with the psychological rationale for taking those steps.”  

- Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence and Pre-Suasion

 An Essential Guide to Get Stuff Done

How many books have you read on project management? On leadership? Too many, right? But no other book combines the practice of project management and leadership into one balanced approach with practical examples—except this book.

You don’t even need Project Manager in your title to employ the lessons in this book. You can be any person on any team who has stepped up to take a leadership role on a critical initiative.

You’ll learn the critical blend of management and leadership skills that will make you indispensable to any project. You’ll learn what it takes to become the binding agent—the glue—that creates cohesive, engaged, high-performing project teams.

• How to get started when you don’t know much—yet 
• How to lay a solid foundation for your project
• How to support a project and a team that’s in flight
