That’s a rather simplistic notion of luck. The success or failure of any new business is largely up to luck, simply due to the number of unknowns: market demand, marketing strategy, economic conditions, access to resources, access to talent

By what measure do the people studied ‘get stuff done’? By virtue of being a founder? Is this an attempt to shed light on productivity or a backhanded way to compliment the Silicon Valley crowd? Generally you get things done by being dedica

OP needs to be concerned about the blame game if the project is a big deal. The manager won’t want to take blame, same for everyone else in the chain. The best thing OP can do is raise it quietly with the manager, and not terribly forcefull
