CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 184 with Ghazenfer Mansoor

 

Episode 184 of the CollabTalk Podcast discusses why so many technology projects fail, and what leaders can do when a promising initiative begins to unravel. We explore the warning signs of failing tech projects, the common root causes behind them, and practical strategies for diagnosing problems, realigning teams, and deciding whether to rescue, pivot, or walk away. 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!
