Reviews

“Matija Djolic’s book holds significant importance as it addresses the identity challenges faced by project managers, who contend with stress, anxiety, and diverse stakeholder expectations, impacting both their professional and personal lives.” • Michal Müller, Palacký University Olomouc

Description

A fastidious investigation into the nature of self-identity, Silent Dilemmas of Project Managers uses the context of project management to challenge the perceived separation of objective experience from subjective perception. Positioning self-identity as the basis of one’s ongoing being-in-the-world, Djolic explores the relationship between our inner dialogues and the surrounding world, highlighting the problematic role our adopted self-notions play in producing negative experiences. In doing so, we are presented with a compelling case for viewing the subject’s self as the object of existential anxiety, as well as a framework for more comprehensive, existential therapy within business settings.

Matija Radomir Djolic holds a PhD in business management from the University of Technology Sydney. Through his position as a research assistant at the University of Technology Sydney, he has contributed to the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, co-authoring an article on academic leadership praxis in sustainable tourism. A scholar of existential phenomenology, his research considers the complexities of addressing the existential dilemmas and uncertainties inherent in project-oriented professionals.
