PPP 156 | The Messy Project Manager, with author Tim Harford

What Good is a Mess? As a profession, project managers have a tendency toward the tidy. Would you agree? I'm not talking about tidy in terms of cleanliness. I'm talking about tidy in terms of organized. Buttoned up. In control. In this episode, Tim Harford joins us to argue for the value of messiness.
