About This Item
San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler Publishers. Near Fine. 2003. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Appears unread. No spine crease. Full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Bibliography, index.. 144 pages. 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. Schmaltz·-- creator of True North's Mastering Projects Workshop at 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. .
