Four mind-sets and eight leadership practices distinguish successful leaders of ultralarge projects.
Today, the very largest and most complex projects command budgets exceeding $5 billion and require more than five years for design, planning, and construction. The sheer scale of such projects brings unique complexities: multiple interfaces with stakeholders such as local communities and government bodies, new regulatory and environmental requirements, and often unique technological challenges. We define megaprojects of this scale as ultralarge.
