The Human Element: Why Technical Skills Aren't Enough
When Satya Nadella took over Microsoft in 2014, he didn't immediately focus on products or profits-he prioritized people. "The C in CEO stands for culture," he declared, transforming Microsoft's competitive environment into one of empathy and collaboration. This people-first approach tripled the company's market value within five years. In "The Eight Essential People Skills for Project Management," Zachary Wong argues that technical expertise alone won't make you successful-your ability to understand and influence human behavior will determine your ultimate impact. In today's flatter organizations with educated workers seeking autonomy and constant demands for innovation, people skills aren't optional extras-they're essential survival tools for modern project leaders. Drawing from decades of research and feedback from hundreds of team leaders across sectors, Wong offers a practical toolkit for navigating the most challenging aspect of project management: the human element.
