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.???Winners of ?Project Management Book of the Year, 2014 ?,  awarded by the Swedish ProjektForum?
