A Must Read for Entry Level Project Manager, 2007-10-18
Results Without Authority showed me invaluable advice on how to make things work despite the handicap. It feels as if this book knows my exact situation and already has a solution for the problems that I am currently undergoing and will be experiencing. In an organization where their operations processes change in an unbelievably frequent fashion, a book like this will give insights that one might need to make things work despite the lack of direct authority.

Lots of insight, 2006-07-26
If Tom Sawyer had used this book, his friends would have done a far more than just whitewash a fence.

"Results without Authority" is just what most project people need to be successful. Projects where you control everyone are almost nonexistent. I have done project work for over a decade and this book was very helpful. The book contained so many insights that I used it as the basis for a 2 hour training session with my consulting group.

This stuff works!, 2006-07-19
This stuff works! "Results without Authority" is a powerful source of tools and common sense advice for people managing projects without formal authority. And most of the projects I have managed and most of the projects I am aware of are managed by people without authority. Tom Kendrick brings a depth of wisdom that can only be learned in the trenches.

Kendrick weaves theory and practice to build a comprehensive set of tools, templates, and checklists that can be used by everyone from the newly appointed project manager to the steely veteran. This volume is the most practical, down-to-earth, treatment of managing without authority that I have ever read. And, it is a good read and an enjoyable read. "Results Without Authority" must be required reading for all project managers, whether they have authority or not. Read it today and start using it tomorrow.
