Abstract

In writing Breaking the Code of Project Management, I attempted to conform to the following learning philosophy: “The central issue in learning is becoming a practitioner, not learning about practice.”1 This book is based on more than two decades of research attempting to capture the proven practices of some of the most competent project managers, to uncover their tacit knowledge, and to explicitly articulate it. This explicit knowledge is presented in the form of five principles of the theory of Results-Focused Leadership. The epilogue explains how this book can help you to become a Results-Focused Leader and what additional steps you need to take. First, however, it is important to understand why this book alone is insufficient for the development of your professional competence.
