About the Book

Leadership in projects has been under-represented in many of the most influential project methodologies, where the focus has been on management and process. The importance to project success of key roles such as project board member, executive sponsor, project manager, client representative or team leader, increases exponentially with the scale and complexity of the project. Kaye Remington's Leading Complex Projects draws on original, empirical research into successful leadership of complex projects, including 70 in-depth interviews with people, across a broad range of industries, selected for their roles in guiding complex projects towards successful outcomes. The book, structured around the major themes from the interviews, explains and applies emerging best-practice in a coherent and focused way. A potent combination of wisdom from leaders in practice and the latest knowledge from many fields of research will engage experienced practitioners, as well as those who are teaching and researching projects, complexity and leadership.

About the Author :
Kaye Remington has wide ranging experience in extending project management concepts into many fields in practice, education and research, integrating material from fields not traditionally associated with project management. Kaye Remington has 25 years' project management and senior management experience and until very recently was Course Director of the Master of Project Management program at the University of Technology Sydney. She is author of the highly acclaimed Tools for Complex Projects, also published by Gower.

Review :
'Dr Remington has again produced a publication that looks at aspects of complex projects that most Project Managers tend to either take for granted, or overlook, the significance of a successful complex project. This aspect is the fundamental of human relationship and the role that project leadership and personality interaction has in the project delivery process. In her publication, Dr Remington has interviewed a number of leading Project Managers to assess their appreciation of the importance and the role that is required or needed in successful project delivery, and her findings are of interest as they address the difficult and often ignored aspects of good project leadership and management. I recommend this book as fundamental reading for those who wish to be acknowledged as future project leaders, it provides an insight into the importance of sensitivity and earning respect from your project team.' Brian R Kooyman, Director of Global Business, Tracey Brunstrom &Hammond Group
