WonderNatarella Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi People! I am looking for good book recommendations in- Project Management for begginers- Efficiency at work Before I start a Project Management certification, I'd prefer starting reading in order to better plan at work. As I'm not in IT or ingeneering, I'd rather have a general book, helpful for any kind of professional environment. Thanks in advance!

Malfurion Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What do you want to know about efficacy at work exactly ?

Willing is not enough, we must do.†“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.†“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.â€There are plenty of people in this world who know what they have to do to get what they want.

WonderNatarella Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I tend to procrastinate and daydream a lot. Those are the things I'd like to avoid... But actually, I think I should read on project management first, and I'd like a book for dummies-style with the basics (I intend to take a training at some point of Prince 2, but in the meantime, I need more of a generic theoretical introduction). What do you want to know about efficacy at work exactly ? ---Thanks Milithael, but isn't it more about management itself?

In the sens that depending on your feld the external or internal factors of the company can really have a great impact... I will advise you to read some organizational behaviour books ...

PNH Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 A huge number of people I know in startups swear by Getting Things Done. Haven't read it personally but I've heard many great things.

This is the text I used for my Proj Managmentment course in grad school. Good book for studying when you take thePMI cert. Has lots of test questions and anwsers. Also you may want to find a copy of the PMBOK. The cert test is heavily based on wording of the question.
