Hello all,
I'm still fairly new to Manager Tools. I attended the conference in L.A. back in the summer and I've gone through most of the basics podcasts (Trinity and some interviewing ones).
I've just been handed a fairly large project to manage with a fairly quick deadline (end of December). Which Manager Tools podcasts should I start with to gain some tips on being an effective project manager? A co worker handed me The Art of Project Management for some reading to do. I know full well this can't be learned overnight, but I hope to at least start working on this skill set. Thank you all

Thanks John.
I figured those would be a good place to go since they have the title right in the name :-) If there are anyothers you would recommend please let me know. Thanks John.

Applying the principals detailed in these two casts will improve project groups. Go get 'em!
