From Library Journal:
The authors, founders of a consulting firm, present a creatively written, nontraditional manual on project management. The fictional project requires the main character, David, to carry out the overwhelming task of dismantling, of all things, a zoo containing over 3000 animals of all types. David does not know where to begin, let alone finish. Enter Noah, the project management guru. What follows is an entertaining guide through the processes of planning, organizing, and carrying out the "project." The concepts put forth by the authors can be adapted to most projects of most magnitudes. The table of contents, which is a list of steps to follow, includes phrases/chapter titles such as "Proact, Not Act!" Much of what the authors present is common sense, and they have pulled it together in a charming and nonthreatening manner. After reading this book, one should certainly feel more confident about taking on projects, if not moving a zoo. For all types of libraries.
