Command and control mechanisms are often inefficient and suboptimal in the context of complex projects. This book demonstrates an alternative project logic that builds on the definitions of a framework, and overall guidelines, rather than instructions or a pre-defined set of procedures and processes. This logic also entails a leadership philosophy that promotes co-operation as well as an ability to deal with the unexpected. The book is based on interviews with leaders with a documented ability to deal with uncertainty and complexity. The authors conclude that leaders success is closely tied to the creation of a game plan. This game plan makes it possible for those carrying out work to self-manage use their own judgement and competence while striving towards common objectives.
