This book is the alternative. Twelve moves a real project manager makes — every one...

Decisions don’t slow down because people are incapable. They slow down because nobody is sure who actually owns them. Every organization has experienced it: * Endless approval loops. * Meetings that end without decisions. * Escalations that become routine. * Accountability without authority. * Teams waiting instead of moving. The problem usually isn’t effort. It’s ownership. In Decision Rights Are Not Obvious, Artemis Ellis reveals why unclear decision authority quietly becomes one of the largest sources of organizational friction.

Or you might be a "book smart" expert on the rules and tools of the trade. Whatever your strengths, most project managers agree it's a juggling act to balance people and processes.

Construction does not have to be a series of half-finished pieces piling up on each other while the people doing the work absorb the cost. Somewhere along the way, our industry decided that motion was the same as progress. We started measuring crews instead of work. We started rewarding the people who looked the busiest instead of the people who finished the cleanest. And we wondered why every project ended in a punch list mountain, a margin we could not find, and a team too tired to be proud of the building they just built. That is not flow. That is friction wearing a hard hat. One Piece, ...
