4.0 out of 5 starsGood but frustratingly not excellent!
By Autamme_dot_com on February 4, 2015
Format: Paperback
“For projects to make an impact and add lasting value, the project manager has to be able to strategize, motivate, network, calculate risk and collaborate effectively with different stakeholders. Project managers must learn how to lead,” stated the publicity material for this book, so why does the book fail to really motivate and lead the reader?

This is a frustrating book. It has a lot of great information that will help project managers transform their art to become project leaders. It just doesn’t grab you and really inspire. It is similar to the informative yet terminally boring conference speaker who invariably starts talking at 9am in a hot, stuffy hotel boardroom, speaking in a monotone voice about something entirely technical and your eyes just want to close…

Maybe it is the implementation of the book, showing where the skill of a good editor, a talented designer and a focussed publisher can shine through. This book’s publishing company usually manages to admirably walk the tightrope and produce technical and professional books that still draw you in, keep you informed and hold your motivation to learn. This just didn’t reach that target. There are no shortage of project management and leadership books out there and yet whilst this has a lot of useful information, it might not pass the initial browse test and for the stressed executive it might just be a bit too easy to put down and move onto something else.

Please! For all that is holy, get rid of the damned “pop out” boxes that are falsely “pinned” to the book, containing inspirational quotations and other comments from industry professionals. The boxes are too big, jarring and remind this reviewer of “Dummies” books from the 1990s. That feature didn’t work then and it doesn’t work now.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best book I have read in a while!
By Cheri Essner on January 23, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Susanne has written an excellent leadership book that I think should be compulsory for every PM to read. This book has great insights into the issues PM's confront and how to lead our way forward staying true your values. I really love how Susanne helps you take a look at yourself, has great questions that only you gave the answer too. The insight from other PM's intertwined is really engaging. I feel empowered and inspired by this book! Read it and pass it on!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for development of Project Leaders for today’s business challenges
By Morten Sorensen on January 31, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
With her latest book “The Power of Project Leadership” Susanne Madsen draws the reader in and paves the way for anyone aspiring to become true project and business change leaders.
There is plenty of great literature on the foundational techniques and processes of project management. In this book, Susanne goes beyond, she addresses, explains and coaches the reader through well chosen themes, recommendations and valuable insight on personal and professional development, and the targeted exercises included for the reader are guaranteed to advance anyone in the critical areas required of effective project leaders today and tomorrow.
Susanne has not only done her homework and included great references from related research and other sources, she incorporated very valuable check-lists, techniques and unique problem solving approaches in areas beyond basic project management. She offers very straightforward suggestions for how one might begin the process of applying the recommended solutions and practices.
I love her very engaging writing style, and the many fresh perspectives, career lessons and useful tools explained make this a book a great choice for those ready to take on a larger and more effective leadership role for critical project oriented initiatives of any kind – the leadership skills are explained and needed universally. Highly recommended.
The book would also be great for teams in advanced learning programs.

5.0 out of 5 starsProject Leadership Made Simple
By Amazon Customer on February 24, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
The Power of Leadership provides a simple but effective guide to improving your project leadership skills. I liked the approach of having exercises to re-inforce the key learning outcomes and real life examples from respected Project Managers. Susanne has also supplied a website that provides supplemental material such as checklists, inspiring videos and other reference materials.
The message throughout the book is simple – the way we, as Project Managers, are delivering projects is not working – project failure continues to be high and is of great concern to our customers, It is only through analysing our drivers (as outlined in Chapter 2) that we can improve our project leadership skills. Turning a camera on your leadership skills can be difficult. Susanne’s approach is methodical and will help people understand their strengths and weaknesses systematically. The discussion about the empowering mindset is fantastic. I think that one of the key leadership learnings is that you can control your own response to events and having a positive mindset does make complex situations easier to manage.

5.0 out of 5 starsJourney of transformation
By L van der Merwe on May 31, 2015
Format: Paperback
For project managers who are seriously aspiring to become better leaders, the book will help make the transition from project manager to project leader. The book has the potential to help you transform from manager to leader, to being conscious about what you want to achieve.

After working through the book, I have gained clarity on my own project leadership vision and I have determined the action steps I need to take next. I realize that it's an ongoing journey, but the book will always be close at hand for future reference. I recommend it to any serious project managers and to those who follow me as their role model.
