The Practical Guide to Contracts & Other Essential Knowledge: What They Are Not Teaching Executives and Project Managers, (Paperback)

<p>Most contracts don't fail in court. They fail on the job site, in meetings, and in email threads - long before lawyers get involved.</p><p>The Practical Guide to Contracts was written for executives, project managers, and business professionals who are expected to manage contracts without being lawyers - and who bear the risk when things go wrong.</p><p>Unlike traditional contract books filled with dense legal theory and case citations, this guide focuses on how contracts actually work in real projects - where scope changes, delays, emails, silence, and poor documentation quietly create massive exposure.</p><p>Drawing on decades of hands-on experience in contract and claims management, Dr. Dondi M. Day breaks contracts down into clear, usable, field-tested guidance that professionals can apply immediately.</p><p>You'll learn: </p><ul><li>Why contracts are risk-management tools, not just legal documents</li><li>How common terms and conditions quietly shift financial risk</li><li>What executives and project managers routinely miss when reviewing agreements</li><li>How poor documentation, silence, or informal approvals destroy leverage</li><li>How to protect your organization before disputes ever arise</li></ul><p>This book doesn't teach you how to argue a claim. It teaches you how to avoid being forced into one.</p><p>Inside this practical guide, you'll discover: </p><ul><li>How contract terms quietly transfer risk - and how to spot them</li><li>Why "administrative" clauses still cause costly disputes</li><li>How silence, emails, and informal approvals become binding problems</li><li>The real purpose of notices, documentation, and change management</li><li>How to protect your organization without being adversarial</li></ul><p>FREE COMPANION ONLINE TRAINING - LIMITED TIME</p><p>Every copy of this book includes free access to an interactive 11-module online training program - complete with knowledge checks, narrated insight stories from the field, and a Certificate of Completion you can share on LinkedIn or with your employer.</p><p>How to activate your free training (takes about 60 seconds): </p><ol><li>Find your Amazon Order ID.
