TAILIEUCHUNG - LEADERSHIP AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT: TIME FOR A SHIFT FROM FAYOL TO FLORES

Projects are often more complex and stressful than they need to be. Far too many of them fail to meet expectations. There are far too many conflicts.

But we still seem to lack a coherent theoretical foundation that explains how leadership engages people fully and effectively. Too often we hear If only the client knew what he really wanted and if all of the participants were motivated and properly trained. It often seems that people are THE problem rather than the solution. In this paper we offer a new approach to leadership in the project setting one that in its theory and practice connects directly to the lean revolution in construction. Understanding this new form of leadership how and why it works begins with reconsidering the .
