A Concise Book to Getting the Project Result You’ve Always Wanted
Making an effort is not enough
You want the best results and because of that you demand the best of yourself. Improving requires effort, but do you do what most interests you in order to improve?
Despite being in the period of history with the most possibilities, in which any goal is achievable, it is not easy to discover what truly is important in order to focus on it.
Despite all the technological advances and all the available techniques and tools, project results have not approved, according to information obtained from the surveys.
The same old thinking, the same old results.
It is a reality that constantly happens
This occurs for three main reasons:
We keep doing more of the same. We are sure that we would like to improve, but nonetheless we put all of our effort into doing things the same way. In conclusion, we get the same results
We do what everyone else does. We live in a world that is rapidly changing. As a natural reaction, we follow the herd. The possible uncertainty of doing things our own way makes us uneasy
There is too much information. Lean Six Sigma, Agile, PMP, Scrum, Prince, APMP… Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter…, it is complicated to make the right decisions.

Leadership abilities are the path towards your maximum potential
PMI has already revealed this fact, after having surveyed thousands of project-management professionals from around the world. Leadership abilities are the most important when it comes to achieving good results on complex projects, according to four out of five of those surveyed. You will have realized this. Despite trying to improve the technical aspects of your professional field, you do not improve in proportion to the effort you make. Nor do you improve as much as you feel you could. The technical aspects are half of the equation.
To Reach Your Full Potential it is necessary to develop Leadership Abilities. This development brings with it other benefits:
- Achieving your full potential
- Inspiring and motivating the team to give their best performance and develop the most
- Guiding the project through a shared vision
- Improving productivity and increasing profit
- Creating more leaders
- Facilitating change
- Keeping clients and getting new ones
- Making difficult decisions
What would it be like if you developed and achieved the potential you know you have inside of you?
Everybody carries the spirit of a leader within them and it is your responsibility to free it. What will foster your transformation into a project leader is your desire to absorb and apply leadership skills. The correct attitude is responsible for the results we achieve.
