Napoleon on Project Management (หมด)

By Jerry Manas

My business is to succeed, and I’m good at it. I create my Iliad by my actions, create day by day. ~ Napoleon

Napoleon Bonaparte used advanced project management practices before the term even existed. Only it wasn’t a small business he was running—he used the fifty military campaigns, but he also led hundreds of development and rebuilding efforts throughout Europe—all during a period of constant warfare. The sound principles and techniques of leadership Napoleon used are as applicable for any management position today as they were then.

Jerry Manas, a PMI-certified Project Management Professional with a passion for leadership and history, uncovers the principles that led to Napoleon’s rise—and the weaknesses that led to his fall—and provides a plan to apply these to your own work. You’ll learn techniques that every project manager or leader can use to ensure success and how to avoid the missteps that led to the downfall of one of the greatest leaders in history.
