How to be a good project lead?

[jordan76]

Hi guys,

As I know, being a project lead will require both strong technical knowledge and team management skills and so on...

Could you tell something more specific on how to be a good project lead based on your own experiences? Thanks.

Hi jordan76,

Dilbert is a daily comic (by Scott Adams) about an office worker's struggles in the corporate world... look at "www.dilbert.com"...

This is an interesting cookbok on leadership:

"Get Everyone in Your Boat Rowing in the Same Direction"
(5 leadership principles to follow so others will follow you)
by Bob Boylan

It a very low-cost book (u$s10 or less) . Take a look at amazon.

Regards.

You can reach several instructive documents on www.pmi.org. Also take a look at Steve McConnell books, mainly intended for sw development groups, but principles are general to project management.

I will post on Book forum the PMI guide, it is very helpfull on project management discipline.
