1. Project Management: The Managerial Process, 7th Edition, Larson and Gray, Chapters 10 and 112. Information Technology Project Management, 9th Edition, Schwalbe, Chapters 9, 10, and 13The project managers have to be able to cope with the ambiguous nature of their work. They must often work under less-than-ideal conditions to develop a cohesive team committed to working together and completing the project to the best of their abilities. Project managers have to recruit personnel from other departments and manage the temporary involvement of team members. They have to bring strangers together and quickly establish a set of operational procedures that unite their efforts and contributions. They have to be skilled at managing meetings so that they do not become a burden but rather a vehicle for progress. Project managers need to forge a team identity and a shared vision, which command the attention and allegiance of participants. They need to use group incentives to encourage teamwork while recognizing when it is appropriate to single out individuals for special recognition. A successful project manager needs to be a well established leader.
