Best Guide for Executives: 100 Rules for Project Managers

NASA is undergoing some big changes and some some soul-searching right now. But it is an organisation that has achieved some of humanity’s most sublime and challenging goals. Therefore, any lessons we can learn at their expense are well worth reading. This is why I like this guide: 100 Rules for NASA Project Managers. Much of it can be applied to general management and some of it can be applied to self-discipline and personal project management. Aim high!
