Synopsis

Explore how managers pick leaders. A clear, data‑driven look at decision methods behind selecting project managers.

This study follows a government laboratory’s process for choosing project managers. It combines interviews, observed practices, and flow diagrams to map how decisions are made, often without formal checklists or conscious plans. The result is a practical model of the selection decision, showing what decision makers pay attention to and how they justify their choices.

What you’ll experience:
  • how candidates are generated, evaluated, and stored in memory for later use
  • the role of project definition and practical constraints in shaping choices
  • the final selection pathways decision makers actually follow, including conscious and subconscious steps
  • a detailed list of candidate attributes across technical, human, and conceptual skills that matter most
Ideal for readers of organizational psychology, management science, and practical hiring theory, this edition offers a grounded view of how complex people decisions are made in real workplaces. It helps readers understand both the data and the intuition behind choosing leaders for major projects.
