Deadline. A Novel about Project Management. 16th Edition

If certain people, having assessed you as a brilliant leader, were to kidnap you, take you to a foreign country, and offer you to lead a most interesting project under very favorable conditions, you would go through the exact journey of the main character in this book. But if you are a manager, then everything except the spy details is your everyday reality.
Calculating team size at different stages of the project, the agony of choice when hiring employees, and the burdensome feelings when they are fired, working under tight deadlines, arbitrating internal conflicts, protecting subordinates from thoughtless actions of upper management – all of this is painfully familiar to many managers. Because project management is always about working with people.
The conclusions that the main character writes in his notebook can be signed by thousands of leaders. However, formulating them amidst everyday busyness does not always succeed. Therefore, this book will be of the greatest benefit to project managers of any scale.
