Publisher's Synopsis
A project is carried out by an organization of people brought together to accomplish a specific objective. Although neither the organizational nor the human aspects can be ignored, often there is little attention paid to the latter. One of the greatest concerns in project management today is that stress on financial and scheduling controls have led to a lack of understanding of an integral part of the project, the people involved.;This volume attempts to cover the key tools necessary to effectively manage people on the project team and throughout the organization. From critical communications skills, leadership and motivation, to the integration of all of these skills and techniques into Total Quality Management (TQM), the authors address all levels of concern on the management of people in project management circles today.
