People and Projects Podcast: Project Management Podcast

Rich Maltzman, contributor to PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition, discusses sustainable project management and how project managers can make a difference. Topics include misconceptions about project management, the ethical considerations of profit vs. sustainability, incorporating sustainability into project leadership, extra thinking and devil's advocacy, considering long-term consequences, communication failures in project management, and the importance of soft skills.

Lessons in Project Leadership One of my favorite voices on how to lead projects is Kiron Bondale. He joined us back in episode 92 for an In the Trenches episode, and I’ve been a fan of his writing ever since. Kiron recently launched a new book entitled Easy in Theory, Difficult in Practice: 100 Lessons in Project Leadership. It's a book packed with insights to help you lead and deliver.

Two Interviews in One I've been looking forward to sharing this interview with Dana Brownlee for many weeks. In many ways, it's two interviews wrapped up into one. We start by talking with Dana about her book entitled The Unwritten Rules of Managing Up: Project Management Techniques from the Trenches. It's a book packed with insights to help manage those who manage us! But I didn't want to miss the opportunity to have a conversation with Dana about race. She's a valued voice in my life on many topics--including race--and I so appreciate the insights she shares with us today. Learn more about Dana and her work at https://professionalismmatters.com/. Also, check out her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFT3dbydRwGM2_qBz-lt_A. Finally, in the interview, she mentions an article she wrote about Martin Luther King's letter from the Birmingham jail. Click here to read that article.   Let's Stay In Touch!
