These are the books that I turn to time and time again. </p> <p>They are perfect for anyone working in a project environment, but if you are managing teams of any kind you’ll find something useful in here.</p> <p>I’ve met managers who think that project teams communicate and collaborate by default. Erm, sorry, that’s not right. Collaboration by default certainly hasn’t been the case for all the teams I have worked on. And <a href="https://rebelsguidetopm.com/project-communication-management-what-is-it-all-about/" data-lasso-id="275976">project communication</a> doesn’t happen unless you make it happen.</p> <p>Don’t assume your project team will know how (or even want to) communicate well and collaborate with each other. This reading list of collaboration books has got some great pointers on the skills, process and experience of engaging people and working together, whether your job is to lead or to follow.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1.

It centers on the fact that even with the best project management skills in the world, projects still fail without good people management skills.</p> <p> The author includes practical tools and self-assessments, and I felt it was well-structured with a focus on being able to improve your skills.</p> <p>I read it a while ago and I still refer to it now.
