Book synopsis: “We went out to all the project managers we know and offered them a chance to be a part of this new book. The ask was simple: if you had to boil your project management success down to just one tool, technique, idea or nugget, what would it be? This book is a collection of their best lessons learned. It contains the kind of insights you would seek from the most trusted of mentors. Each chapter gives a different project leader a chance to share his or her key to success. Their stories, examples, and takeaways are invaluable, especially if you are someone looking for “what’s really important”.
“In this episode, Connie shares why she decided to start the S.A.I.D. Strategy Group while working at the University of Chicago, why it’s important to learn from different sources, grow, evolve and pivot as a person and as a business, and she talks about a big mistake she made, the lessons she learned from it, and her advice to women in order to advance professionally”.
