The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right explores the surprisingly powerful role of simple checklists in managing complex tasks and preventing avoidable mistakes. Atul Gawande draws on examples from medicine, aviation, construction, business, and disaster response to show how a well-designed checklist can help people work more consistently, safely, and effectively.
