also clearer if you use ansi join syntax (which we all should do), means if
you have any NULL
FK (ie project manager has not been appointed) you can use and OUTER join
SELECT
p.project_name, s.staff_name, m.staff_name
FROM
project p JOIN
staff s ON s.staff_id = s.staff_id JOIN
staff m ON m.staff_id = s.staff_id
