My friend David Schmaltz's new book The [Blind Men And The Elephant] ISBN:1576752534 is coming out. David Schmaltz brilliantly identifies the true root cause of the difficulties in project work: "in-coherEnce" (the inability of a group of people to make common meaning from their common experience)... Schmaltz exposes such oft-cited difficulties as poor planning, weak leadership, and fickle customers as poor excuses for Project Failure, providing a set of simple, project coherence-building techniques that anyone can use to achieve success. He explains how "WickEd-ness" develops when a team over-relies on their leader for guidance rather than tapping their true source of power and authority-the individual. I'm definitely buying it.
