Is your desire to become a winning project leader? Do you want to achieve more than an ordinary project manager?
Seventy-five percent of organizations rank leadership skills as most important for the successful projects (The Project Management Institute).
You can make well over $100,000 with experience and leadership (ProjectManager.com).
Leading projects is a complex task, and project managers fight on several fronts. Many feel like they’re rolling a heavy boulder up a steep hill when dealing with difficult stakeholders and team members.
But what are the secrets of those who always win during meetings? Why servant leaders have so many followers? Which leadership skills are essential for a project manager?
A project manager can achieve a lot - but a project leader with their team shoot goals and create real values.
This audiobook will reveal:
- Nine leadership areas of a successful CEO and project manager
- How to turn conflicts to your advantage

- Bonus: A negotiation checklist that includes advanced techniques
I have described all the soft skills you will need. You can choose negotiation, active listening, problem solving, or any other skill, follow the instructions and practice it, and your success is inevitable. Once you develop your talent for this, you’ll discover whole new worlds opening up for your dream career.
Open the door, and nobody will close it!
I believe that your deep desire is to become a project leader. If you agree with me then you should listen to this audiobook!

A guide to successful projects of any size
I found thebook very practical for non-project managers. I lead many initiatives and process improvements that can be managed as little projects. I cooperate with people, and there, the leadership skills come into play. Peter offers all leadership, interpersonal and communication skills that are essential for project management. I particularly liked advanced problem-solving skills. I struggled with certain conflict situations, but the advice to classify them per category helped me view them differently and apply an effective method. The author provides basic and advanced techniques accompanied by a practical negotiation checklist that helps me prepare for difficult meetings. The narration is very engaging.

Solving complex problems and serving leadership
The book is outstanding among PM books for its approach to solving complex problems and serving. Problems often grow larger than can directly handle, especially on complex projects. Serving leadership is a modern approach that has a great tract of success. I took many notes on these aspects, which I want to implement, not just on my projects.

Teamwork
A project is about teamwork. Building a dream team that delivers is the goal of every PM. The audiobook contains guidelines to achieve these. However, as with other soft skills, these must be implemented and built, which requires practice. The book will take you through the most important PM skills.

Solving problems and dealing with people
The title of my review reflects the content of the audiobook. Dealing with complex problems requires the right analysis and then cooperation of the team. The author puts emphasis on crucial soft skills that promote a project manager to a leader. It’s well written, easily understood, and concise.

101 for any manager
I am not a professional project manager but have broad management experience. Projects create situations that are more intensive than my daily management routine. Therefore, I recommend this book to any manager. If you can lead projects, then you can lead a process or department.

Conflicts
I encounter many conflicts in projects where I participate. The author presents great strategies. Firstly, they need to be classified and one of the approaches chosen. Also, other parts of the book are beneficial. It is well researched and inspirational.

Become a project leader
I knew the difference between a manager and a leader. However, I was surprised that this is more critical in projects than in other management fields since a PM spends over 80% of their time communicating.
