Reviews"Leading projects and teams can be rewarding, for sure. But it can undoubtedly be stressful. There are risks. Constraints. And people! James has crafted a practical book that helps take some of the stress out of the process. It's an enjoyable read from a guy who knows what he's talking about. Regardless of your level of project management expertise, you'll pick up ideas to help you lead and deliver. Highly recommended!" -- Andy Kaufman, host of the People and Projects Podcast "A strong, motivated and unified team is essential to delivering change, no matter what the circumstances. In Leading Impactful Teams, James Louttit sets out how to bring people with diverse talents and viewpoints together in an effective way and motivate them to achieve their full potential." -- Roderick O'Gorman, Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth of Ireland "This book is more holistic than traditional project management books. It imparts the experience of living through projects, both good and bad, hopefully helping those embarking on the road to avoid the pitfalls." -- Rosalyn Donnelly, Head of IT at C&D Foods (ABP Group)
