Résumé

Presents a set of simple, proven techniques that all can use to increase their projects' coherence and overcome common project difficulties
Adds the ingredient most often absent from discussions of project work-you and what you can do to influence your own experience
The Blind Men and the Elephant is a powerful metaphor for understanding project management

Using the familiar story of the six blind men trying 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). He details a set of simple techniques that anyone can use to increase a project's coherence.
