ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right" by Atul Gawande explores the use of checklists as a way to reduce errors and improve performance in complex situations. The book investigates how checklists, initially developed for aviation, have been applied in other fields like medicine and construction. Gawande examines how professionals often resist checklists, believing that their skills make them immune to error. The narrative demonstrates how even the most skilled individuals make mistakes, and that checklists act as a “cognitive net,” catching errors of memory, attention, and thoroughness. The book illustrates that checklists promote a culture of teamwork and discipline, and can save lives by ensuring critical steps are not missed and that teams communicate effectively.
