Having read How Big Things Get Done, one of the biggest takeaways is the emphasis on proper planning and understanding the human aspect of project management. The book highlights how over-optimism often leads to delays and cost overruns, which is something every project manager can relate to.
For me, the idea of embracing flexibility and learning from smaller, incremental steps instead of rushing toward the end goal has been a game-changer. It’s a reminder that successful project management is as much about people and communication as it is about processes and tools.
