Project Lessons from the Roman Empire: An Ancient Guide to Modern Project Management
The leaders of the Roman Empire established many of the organizational governance practices that we follow today. They also accomplished remarkable feats of engineering, building roads and bridges still in use today, complex irrigation systems, and even “flush toilets.” Yet, the leaders were challenged with political intrigue, rebelling team members, and pressure from the competition. How could they achieve such long-lasting greatness in the face of these challenges?
