Nietzsche PMP Prep

Nietzsche for Project Professionals: Becoming Who Delivers

🛠️ Product Description (Back Cover Style):

What if your PMP prep was more than passing a test?
What if it was about becoming the kind of person who can lead through complexity, question convention, and create lasting value?

Nietzsche for Project Professionals isn’t your average study guide.
It’s a bold, brainy, and unexpectedly human workbook for project managers, change leaders, and anyone navigating the chaos of real-world delivery.

Using Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy—from the camel to the lion to the child—you’ll learn to carry your burden, question outdated systems, and ultimately become a value creator in a world of constant change.

This guide combines PMP exam principles, PMBOK® 7 insights, Project Business Foundation frameworks, Agile thinking, and Theory of Constraints—woven together with storytelling, humor, and real-world reflection.

Plus: appearances by Coach Nick (Nietzsche in a backwards cap), Wolfram the blue Theory of Constraints dolphin, Markus the Agile teacher, and Oliver the Project Business strategist.

🛠️ Produktbeschreibung (Deutsch):

PMP-Vorbereitung ist mehr als Bulimielernen.
Echte Projektführung verlangt Mut, Denken, Wandel.

Nietzsche für Projektprofis ist kein gewöhnlicher Lernleitfaden.
Dieses Workbook verbindet Philosophie, Projektmanagement und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung – mit Coach Nick (Nietzsche mit Basecap), dem TOC-Delfin Wolfram, dem agilen Lehrer Markus und Business-Vordenker Oliver Lehmann.

Mit Nietzsches berühmtem Dreischritt – Kamel, Löwe, Kind – lernst du:

• Lasten zu tragen (Wissen, Disziplin, Selbststudium)
• Systeme zu hinterfragen (Tailoring, Verantwortung, Mut)
• Neues zu erschaffen (Agilität, KI, Wertorientierung)

Dabei greifen wir zurück auf:

• Die PMBOK® Guide 7 Prinzipien
• Die PMP® ECO (Exam Content Outline)
• Die Project Business Foundation-Ansätze
• Theory of Constraints und Flow-Denken

Dieses Workbook begleitet dich durch Unsicherheit, Prüfungsstress, berufliche Transformation – und hilft dir, nicht nur Projekte zu bestehen, sondern zu gestalten.

Du bist das Deliverable.
Werde, wer du sein willst – mit Haltung, Werkzeug und Philosophie.
