"In the new economy, all work is project work. And you are your projects! Here's how to make them all go Wow! .."
"...The biggest, boldest, most stimulating and innovative projects often come from the most compelling need for a team or a company to do something that will change the game: Launch a sexy new product. Craft a breakthrough ad campaign. Change the logistics and the service rules in your niche. Those are the kinds of projects that leave a legacy, projects that everyone wants to wrangle their way onto -- or at least to get close enough to collect the commemorative T-shirt that proves that they were there!.."
Tom provides an inspirational read for those who are in the PM business or want to know how to ensure that they have a "fire in the belly" before they try to sell a project to Executive Management.
