Book Review: Influence without Authority

Any project manager knows how hard it is to get things done when the people you need don't report directly to you. You're responsible for getting things done, but you haven't been given the organizational authority to carry it out directly.

Cohen and Bradford lay out strategies and techniques that you can use to make sure things get done. Different people require different techniques, and the authors explore different ways to work with different types of people.

The skills laid out in this book are something that every project manager needs.
