Press release:
Motivating Project Management by an Expert
Every line of the book shows practical experience. Gottfried Giritzer can look back on a professional life of more than 30 years. In  his book “Positive Project Management for a Change“ (BoD Norderstedt) he sums up years of experience and presents basic and specialist knowledge of project management in a comprehensible and entertaining way.
Good project management assures successful work and is based on a few very simple basic principles. Gottfried Giritzer has chosen a first-person narrator, Graham Gishler, who reports his experiences with different projects at an electronics company. You can read how basic elements of project work are not always truly understood. This situation is not helped by the myriad of technical books that complicate the topic instead of shedding light on it.  
Gottfried Giritzer pulls the term back out of the confusion of theoretical descriptions and puts it back into the daily processes of industrial operations. As an experienced project manager who has had the pleasure of managing many successful projects, he is certainly an advocate of theoretical knowledge, but is also in favour of putting to a practical test. 
Information that is riddled with technical jargon and seems abstract in other guides is presented here in concrete, real-life projects.  There are a few theoretical principles and a selection of technical, logistical, IT and organizational projects. The narrator takes us from the creation of the project plan and the definition of goals to step-by-step descriptions of the approach. That it is better to think of a project from the purpose of the goal is probably one of the surprising insights of this book. 
Using the form of anecdotes, significant problems and their solutions are presented in a light-hearted manner, with complex problems shared in an almost chatty tone. As the readers come to trust the narrator, they soon feel as if they themselves are part of the action. Particularly as in this case, the project manager has the privilege of being on a level playing field with the other employees. The perspective of the industrial worker who still has to live the project when it no longer is a project is a topic so often ignored in other books, and is presented here vividly.  
For project managers with or without experiences, but also for managers in general, this book provides a journey to the simple roots of successful projects. Or, as the well-versed project manager Giritzer says with a wink, but in all seriousness: "Practice is a step ahead of theory!"
