CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 141 on Project Failure Files

 

For Episode 141 of the CollabTalk Podcast, I wanted to provide an introduction of my weekly livestream series, Project Failure Files, which simulcasts across the various social channels every Monday morning at 9am Pacific. As part of this overview, I discuss the importance of balancing project management tools with human oversight, talk about how micromanagement stifles team empowerment, and dive into overcoming innovation paralysis and the fear of change. I share insights on how to foster open communication, build trust, and encourage a culture of adaptability in project teams. Plus, I’ve included a couple of short clips from the most recent episode to highlight these key strategies in action. You can listen to the podcast above and follow me using your favorite app, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, or the iHeartRadio app. Be sure to subscribe!
