Bechtel Corporation has a series of videos (via PMForum) on its site about its projects and their management.
The range of work under the title "project management" ranges for activities like these, to building and flying the 787 or the Orion Spacecraft (my connection) to self-actualizing interpersonal activities labeled "projects communities."
I personally relate better to the Bechtel style projects, where something tangible, measurable, and quantitative results. If along the way people become aware of new concepts about themselves, all the better.
