According to Wideman (1990), "Every construction project exists for a purpose relating to, and within, its surrounding environment. Therefore, its creation and implementation must be responsive to its environment by maximizing the benefits, as far as possible, to all the stakeholders, and minimizing the adverse impacts by deliberate mitigation. Clearly, how the project manager works within the project environment can make all the difference between the success of the project and its failure."
