I have written a book, “Why is it that my kite won’t fly?” that expands on the analogy between flying a kite and managing a project. It provides the reader with multiple strategies to elevate performance at project organizations and assure success at flying kites (executing projects). Ten chapters to cover this complex subject and present concrete strategies to improve effectiveness in execution, while leading to more sustainable project organizations:
Chapter One: A Distinctive Approach to Projects is born
Chapter Two: Why Aren’t the Kites Flying? Project Failure Continues to Rise
Chapter Three: Fundamental Areas of Management to Get Kites to Fly Again
Chapter Four: The Human Factor
Chapter Five: Coping With Change
Chapter Six: If Risks Weren’t There, Life Would Be Boring
Chapter Seven: Quality as an Intrinsic Variable, Naturally Achieved
Chapter Eight: Integrating the Thoughts to Achieve the Desired Results
Chapter Nine: Transcending into a New Project Execution Culture
Chapter Ten: The Quest to Be Inspiring and Extraordinary
This is a book that challenges the traditional practices and theories that don’t seem to lead to successful project execution. The language used is simple and informal, allowing the message to reach even those professionals not necessarily involved in project management and execution, or with little experience in this complex area of the business.
As a reader, you are going to be fascinated by the simplicity of the analyses performed and by the distinctive approach given to the solutions and strategies that follow.
This book is about people, about leading people, about learning how to be a better project professional.
You will find the book useful and inviting!
