Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Using the "blind men and the elephant" metaphor, this useful guide explains how a "follow the leader" approach creates troubled projects by pulling attention from the real source of power and authority - the individual. Using real-world stories, it shows how anyone can transform a fuzzy project assignment into a meaningful, satisfying experience. Author David A. Schmaltz7-- creator of True North's Mastering Projects Workshop and Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Project Sun Workshop — reframes the root cause of difficulties in project work, singling out "incoherence" (the inability of people to make common meaning from their common experience) as the main obstacle, and presents a set of simple, easily available techniques to increase a project's coherence and its participants' enjoyment of the process. Book News Annotation:A wry, cheerful prod to action by the founder of a project management
consulting firm in which he offers a set of simple
project-coherence-building techniques based on real-world stories. He
examines the degree to which individuals involved in the project can
exert control and explores the excuses that can keep people trapped
in meaningless work.
