“Written in a friendly and engaging style, this book provides a good introduction to structured project management. Running alongside the practical guidance is the book’s central theme, an important call to action for project managers to see themselves as leaders rather than administrators of the project process. It is here in particular that Henry’s experience and passion comes through with a challenge to think about what sort of leader we want to be, and how we can improve our project outcomes though more collaborative engagement with our project teams.”
Michael Coleman, PM Learning Program Manager, IBM – United Kingdom
“Far from merely a how-to manual, “Getting Amazing Things Done” equips the aspiring Project Manager with every needed tool and then challenges her to remember the true key to success; the Team. How many leaders heap up knowledge but fail to inspire their people! Henry Lewis brings the human side of Project Management into focus in this important book and if you lead projects you need to read it now.”
Jamin Dick-PMP and former SVP Global Supply Chain at Pitney Bowes – US, New York
“For everyone involved with projects, teams, and leadership. Read and keep this book close to your hands. You will need it. If you are experienced or just starting out. If you are a senior executive, take this book. For leaders regardless whether you lead a project or any kind of organization. Henry successfully creates an atmosphere of mentoring and teaching as he shares his life experience. I will use this book for sure in my futures workshops of leading and project management.”
Tadeu Veiga, PMP, Management and Professional Development Consultant at TadeuV8 – Brazil
“Despite a lack of formal project management training, I found Getting Amazing Things Done to be an extremely helpful and approachable introduction to both project management leadership and tactics.”

Padmanaban Venkataramanan, PMP, Leader – Project Management Curriculum – IBM India Pvt Limited (Retired) – India
” Lewis’ communicates the basics of project management in a way that will help all professionals – not just project managers – lead their organizations to greater success. However, what sets this work apart from other popular and technical books on the topic is Lewis’ eye towards leadership and care of the people that are critical to and impacted by an important initiative. “Getting Amazing Things Done” not just equips but inspires.”
