  • Summary

  • Projects across the world, and especially in the US, are sinkholes for cost; creating unnecessary and preventable waste.  And the organizations that run them are breeding pools for team member disengagement.  But they don't have to be!

    In this episode, I combine work from Martin Seligman, Stephen Devaux, and April K. Mills in an effort to address an issue in the fight against poor project management and dismal employee effort levels.
