A book by Lars Marmgren and Mats Ragnarsson.
Leading in Uncertain and Complex Projects
Supporting Structures for Self-Management 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 predefined set of procedures and processes. This logic also entails a leadership philosophy that promotes cooperation as well as an ability to deal with the unexpected.
The book is based on interviews with leaders from various contexts and 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 selfmanage – use their own judgement and competence – while striving towards common objectives.
