The superintendent or project manager role can’t be automated. There are many ways to manage, and each team must find their way. This occurs when leaders provide space for critical thinking and trust their teams, acting as coaches and guides to success rather than dictators of process. Process is important, but not at expense of the objective. Leaders must guide their teams without allowing them to fail (which reduces profit and morale) or dictating every step (inhibiting learning and career progression). One checklist or process is not applicable to all projects. A flexible framework is better suited per product type.
