Many want to achieve success in being a project manager, but not everyone is given a roadmap on how to get there. Think about it. You worked hard, got promoted into a project management position and then what?

Having risen from the entry level, Joe Egan, shares over 45 years of his knowledge and experiences in, Construction Project Management: How the Great Ones Do It.

Joe puts you in the driver’s seat and gives you a roadmap to become more than an "OK" project manager. You are the navigator, you can ascend to success or descend to failure.

Going in either direction starts with the first step, so watch your step! Success is about doing many hundreds of things right and successfully managing the hundreds of things that go wrong. This book is one way to help you excel, even if there are roadblocks.

Having perseverance and courage are just two tools that you need to add to your box. One of the best ways to achieve what you want in life, is to have a plan to get there. Create your roadmap. In doing so, you will have access to great opportunities, enduring relationships, and monetary success.

I agree with another reviewer above. fantastic for personal growth and identifying places you may need to grow your management style but nothing about construction. as in there no specifics regarding any of the processes of construction start to finish but how different scenarios within the process can challenge your character and fortitude. very good narrator though. likeable type voice.

Good for personal development

I’m unsure of where to begin with this gem. For 30 min it was a generic feel good pump you up positive thinking and importance of character monologue. I gave up once the narrator reveals his cards about his religious faith based truths. Spent my entire life having that ground into me and at this point in my life I don’t need your faith based opinions. Came for real substantial tools for project management. Ended up in some Tony robins feel good life success seminar. Yes your mind and how you perceive yourself and conduct yourself are pretty foundational to success but we’re past that I have some real production and project management deficiencies that don’t some stoic work yourself into the dirt solution.

I enjoyed my first listen and am about to listen again. As written in the review title, this book, read by the author, is both frank and compelling. Having many years of business myself in project management, I found it frank, in that he writes from and Shaws his experiences; and compelling as it compels me on my path. Thank you.

Frank and Compelling.

The book was very generalized. The book kind of repeated suggestions from other authors in general life and professional behavior.

Joe Egan is a respectable individual with knowledge of construction. I went into the book looking for a little bit of insight into better handling my responsibilities as a Superintendent, but was disappointed that majority of his advice was very generic towards management in general. A lot of the tips he gives are pretty much common sense and things you already know that you should be doing, but there are a few other examples and tips that were insightful.

Overall this isn't a "must read" if you are considering getting into construction management. If you are already in the field and experienced, then this book won't offer anything really new except for a few tips on critical thinking and how you should respond to certain events. Not bad, but not good. Just decent

Reaching to call this "construction management"

Was ok, was more about mind set than anything else. Not sure it’s a project management book haha. More like a customer service book

It was ok

Wanted to learn about project management in construction, and what I got instead seemed more like life coaching. They're good rules to live by (honesty, integrity, courage, etc.), but the actual concrete lessons on how to effectively manage construction projects are lacking. Everything is so broad and much of it pretty obvious to me that I really can't say that I've learned much from this book and regret buying it. I'm sure there are people out there who need to hear these lessons, but I really don't think it gave me much of anything beyond principles that I've already been trying to live my professional life by for quite some time.

I guess I'm the wrong audience
