If you work, you probably manage projects every dayeven if 'project manager' isn't in your official titleand you know how frustrating the experience can be. Using the familiar story of six blind men failing to describe an elephant to each other as a metaphor, David Schmaltz brilliantly identifies the true root cause of the difficulties in project work: 'incoherence' (the inability of a group of people to make common meaning from their common experience).Schmaltz exposes such oftcited difficulties as poor planning, weak leadership, and fickle customers as poor excuses for project failure, providing a set of simple, project coherencebuilding techniques that anyone can use to achieve success. He explains how 'wickedness' develops when a team overrelies on their leader for guidance rather than tapping their true source of power and authoritythe individual.The Blind Men and the Elephant explores just how much influence is completely within each individual's control. Using realworld stories, Schmaltz undermines the excuses that may be keeping you trapped in meaningless work, offering practical guidance for overcoming the inevitable difficulties of project work.
