"The authors regard project management as ‘a people business,’ and their eloquent book offers vital lessons on how ethics and leadership are fundamental, inextricable parts of successful project management." –Joanne B. Ciulla, Director, Institute for Ethical Leadership, Rutgers Business School "This book provides an uncommon perspective, in that it spans both the academic and the industry realm. Too often, solely academic research, by its nature, is devoid of industry experienceThe research informing this innovative book is a prime example of solid academic and industry knowledge being coordinated and applied to optimize construction project teamwork. That team cohesion fills a major gap in current industry project delivery and will ultimately lead to a better project for the client and project team members." –Charles E. Jettmar, Managing Director, Capital Projects and Engineering, USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center "This book is unique, as it brings together the theory and reality of the construction process in a way no one else has. Construction management is like the weather–everyone talks about it but never does anything to change it. This book will change how you think about construction and defines what is really important for everyone on a project team. I find it exciting to see the concepts of our profession synthesized into a clear roadmap for project success." –John Shea, Chief Executive Officer for Facilities and Construction, New York City Department of Education
