The vicissitudes of a train-wreck, or a project gone south

By Mona Goldwater, Business Editor

It's true.  I don't know how it works in your business, but out-of-control projects really can, and do, end up sludging through these, or similar, stages:

• Uncritical Acceptance
• Wild Enthusiasm
• Dejected Disillusionment
• Total Confusion
• Search for the Guilty
• Punishment of the Innocent
• Promotion of the Non-participants
