If we can keep an open communication, a dynamic relationship between each member of the team, then the project will be able to navigate change easily, keeping that needed momentum going that will drive the project to its successfull conclusion. I am currently reading "Leadership and the New Science" by Margaret J Wheatley, who has over 30 years in business management experience. She delves into the fact that "chaos is a necessary process for the creation of new order", and how this affects everything in our society, but especially the direction that leadership and business is headed. If we can learn to see chaotic situations (and, really, what is more chaotic than a runaway project?) as opportunities for growth and new creation, we can learn to guide our businesses (as well as our lives) as 'living organizations' with the natural potential for success. This book is a definite must for anyone in a leadership role. Happy reading! :) I love that you are writing about the sociology of a project, because that is what it all boils down to… the relationships between the people within the project.
