Peter and this book will help you to do that. -- Neville Bain * Institute of Directors *If all books placed as much importance on soft skills as this one then perhaps we might start to see a sea change in the way projects are managed. -- Chris Field PMP MBCS CITPI recommend every project manager reads this book (in addition to PRINCE2!). -- Andy Murray CDirThis is one of the first books to apply soft skills to the normally precise and potentially stressful world of project management. As such it meets a great challenge because project managers more than most workers relate to a large number of different people for a pre-determined duration; these relationships then end, and a fresh set of relationships then needs to be built at the start of the next project. -- Gordon Harris * Chartered Management Institute *Mission accomplished. -- Philip Smelt RPP MAPM * Project Magazine January 2012 *If like me youre one of those project managers that likes to keep abreast of new techniques but perhaps are slightly sceptical of the less than hard skills that seem to come and go as fads, then Peter Parkes latest book is for you. -- Philip Smelt RPP MAPM * Project Magazine January 2012 * Promotional The only book on NLP specifically for project managers. Long Description Method and process are important in project management, but knowing how to use them is even more so.
