Dance of the Project Leader

Dance of the Project Leader is a cutting-edge primer on leadership in the Third Wave of the Digital Age assembled by husband-and-wife team Alan Waite & Dr. CJ Walker Waite, both of whom have worked for over a quarter century in the world of project management, change management, teaching, and leadership training & consulting. The Waites show why and how today's project leader has a more complicated role in a digital world that moves at light-speed - and must adopt the best characteristics and practices of entrepreneurs to succeed. At the same time, leaders must still control risk, schedule and scope creep, while limiting costs and acting as agents of change. This style of leadership is both a science and an art. It requires coordination, "human fluency," feeling and intuition. In other words, it is very much like dancing. Filled with career-changing concepts and advice, this uplifting yet practical book is an invaluable resource for professionals who want to succeed in the global digital marketplace.
