No Bullsh*t Project by Kyle Nitchen
A Project Manager's Guide to Successful Project Leadership.
Lead successful projects with confidence.
I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that my first book—No Bullsh*t Project—is officially available everywhere books are sold!
For the last two years, I've been working on this in the dark, so I'm excited to finally reveal it to all of you in my incredible community.
Today, I'd like to share a bit more about the book—why I'm so excited for you to read it—and humbly ask that you consider ordering copies for yourself, colleagues, and anyone looking to transform how they lead projects.
I believe this book is going to change a lot of careers—it's already changed mine.
A New Way to Think About Your Project
So, what is No Bullsh*t Project all about?
It’s about simplifying the complexity and chaos that plagues so many construction projects.
It’s about delivering reliable results—on time, on budget, and with less stress.
In this book, I introduce a fresh framework for thinking about project management centered around seven key archetypes:
- The Communicator
- The Enforcer
- The Builder
- The Leader
- The Attorney
- The Accountant
- The Business Developer
These archetypes represent the core roles that every successful project manager must master.
In each section of the book—one for each archetype—you'll find:
- Personal Anecdote: A real-world example to spark reflection and discussion about your own project priorities.
- Context: A look at how these archetypes have shaped successful projects throughout history and what we can learn from them today.
- Tools: The top three tools you need to embody each archetype.
- Action Guide: Practical, science-backed strategies you can start using immediately to create results and growth in your projects.
Throughout the book, you'll find powerful ideas to help you lead people and predict outcomes. By embodying these archetypes, you’ll go from being a reactive, administrative project manager to a proactive, strategic project leader.
Each chapter is packed with actionable steps, proven strategies, and stories from the field that will help you:
- Plan with ease
- Control your risk
- Manage stakeholders
- Lead with confidence
- Develop your business
- Communicate with impact
- Hold your team accountable
You’re going to find immense value in this book. I guarantee it.
My Humble Request to You!
I didn't plan on writing this book. I was compelled to write this book—because its ideas fundamentally changed my career.
I truly believe it will change yours, too.
So here's my humble request:
If you’ve found any value in my newsletter, The Influential Project Manager, I would love for you to order the book!
I'd be forever grateful for your support in helping these ideas reach everyone out there who will benefit from them.
I have a few very special things planned for this community if we can achieve my ambitious goals for the book. Let's make it happen!
