Project Management; (Dennis Lock)
Non-PMI standard so unless you’ve already passed your PMP don’t absorb the terminology used! This book is easy to read, well structured and information. It provides good cross references for additional reading and source materials.

A well written book by three exemplars of business success! There are insights from three very different individuals, with key points and anecdotes to inform and entertain.
