Without goals, business units, and capabilities aligned, execution falters. Without executive sponsorship, decisions languish. Too little governance allows bad things to happen, while too much governance creates overburdening bureaucracy. Without leadership at all levels of the organization, people are directionless. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Using decades of experience, years of research, and interviews with hundreds of business leaders, author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller in Business Project Management, \u003cem\u003eRescue the Problem Project\u003c\/em\u003e, Todd Williams illustrates how to fill these gaps, meet corporate goals, and increase value. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e An excellent review of this book appears here: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/improving-project-execution-filling-gaps-murray-pmp-ms\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/improving-project-execution-filling-gaps-murray-pmp-ms\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Click below to read an interview with the author: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/filling-organization-gaps-successful-project-part-1-naomi\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/filling-organization-gaps-successful-project-part-1-naomi\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/filling-organization-gaps-successful-project-part-2-naomi\/?published=t\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/filling-organization-gaps-successful-project-part-2-naomi\/?published=t\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Facebook users can access an interview on “Project Management Cafe” here: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/projectmanagementcafe\/permalink\/1975750702698459\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/projectmanagementcafe\/permalink\/1975750702698459\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Related blogs can be accessed here: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-execution\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-execution\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.strategyex.co.uk\/blog\/pmoperspectives\/strategy-from-the-bottom-up\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.strategyex.co.uk\/blog\/pmoperspectives\/strategy-from-the-bottom-up\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Check out his August 27, 2018 interview here: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.yegor256.com\/shift-m\/2018\/34.html\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.yegor256.com\/shift-m\/2018\/34.html\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Click here for articles by the author on LinkedIn: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/we-all-lead-todd-williams\/\/t_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/we-all-lead-todd-williams\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/your-inner-leader-task-introspection-todd-williams\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/your-inner-leader-task-introspection-todd-williams\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/leadership-actions-art-listening-todd-williams\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/leadership-actions-art-listening-todd-williams\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/leadership-actions-getting-people-talk-todd-williams\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/leadership-actions-getting-people-talk-todd-williams\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/eliminating-blame-todd-williams\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/eliminating-blame-todd-williams\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/leadership-actions-dialog-discussion-todd-williams\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/leadership-actions-dialog-discussion-todd-williams\/\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/projects-fail-when-people-dont-know-where-going-todd-williams\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/projects-fail-when-people-dont-know-where-going-todd-williams\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Todd C.
