People And Projects Podcast: Project Management Podcast

If you've ever sat through one of my workshops or keynotes on leadership or project management, you've likely clued into the fact that I have a rather low tolerance for the purely academic.

An example of one of those books is the latest from Professor Henry Mintzberg, entitled Management? It's Not What You Think!
