PPP 302 | Accelerate Your Career By Being a Better Problem-Finder, with author Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg

<h2>The Truth Will Set You Free</h2> <p>We often think about honesty as "don’t tell lies", and that’s certainly part of it. But in today's episode, Peter Kozodoy helps us see that a big part of brutal honesty is <em>seeing things honestly</em>. Peter has just released an intriguing book released just this month. It’s entitled <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Honest-Greatness-Greatest-Leaders-Honesty/dp/1948836505/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=peopandprojpo-20&linkId=b547af79f6e6a1ba7682ce1ef06b92f6&language=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Honest to Greatness: How Today’s Greatest Leaders Use Brutal Honesty to Achieve Massive Success.</a></p> <p>Learn more about Peter and his book at <a href= "https://peterkozodoy.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">PeterKozodoy.com/</a>.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.myrocketcareer.com/About-Us/Our-Philosophies" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> to see the Quicken Loans <em>ISMs</em> that Peter refers to in the discussion.</p> <h2>Join Us for our Virtual Project Management Training Program!</h2> <p>Learn how to improve your ability to lead and deliver!

PPP 300 | Five Things I Want You To Know From The First 300 Episodes

<h2>Learning to Scale as a Leader</h2> <p>If you lead teams and projects, one of the challenges we eventually face is scale. Inevitably, we’re faced with bigger challenges, larger teams, more complexity, and--as we do that--we start to get in our own way. We become the bottlenecks ourselves, or we allow an insidious swamp of policies and procedures to grow to the point that everything takes longer. And in the process, we start to suck the life out of our people.</p> <p>In this episode, we're joined by Ron Lovett to talk about his book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Outrageous-Empowerment-Incredible-Giving-Employees/dp/198299889X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=peopandprojpo-20&linkId=aee1c485aad1577d6636ddc1860a13ea&language=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Outrageous Empowerment</a>.</p> <p>Learn more about Ron and his book at <a href= "http://ronlovett.ca/book/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">RonLovett.ca/book</a>.</p> <h2>You Are Earning Free PDU's</h2> <p>If you hold a certification from Project Management Institute, you are earning free PDUs!

PPP 299 | How to Give Your Employees Their Brains Back Through Outrageous Empowerment, with author Ron Lovett

<h2>Becoming The Go To Person</h2> <p>Being the go to person has a lot of career value, and in times of uncertainty, being the go to person can seem like it brings a lot of job security. But as our guest Bruce Tulgan says in the opening clip, the problem with becoming a go to person is that you become the go to person! It can turn into becoming a Yes person, which can lead to over-commitment, stress, and eventually dropping enough balls, so to speak, that we’re no longer the go to person!</p> <p>Bruce makes his third appearance with us here on episode 298 of the People and Projects Podcast. He joined us way back in <a href= "https://PeopleAndProjectsPodcast.com/38" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">episode 38</a> to talk about managing our bosses and even earlier in <a href="https://PeopleAndProjectsPodcast.com/10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode 10</a> to talk about managing Generation Y. 10 years later he joins us to talk about his new book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Art-Being-Indispensable-Work-Overcommitment/dp/1633698491/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=peopandprojpo-20&linkId=da5e3ffb317156e77996dd29dc951524&language=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Being Indispensable at Work</a>.</p> <p>Learn more about Bruce and his book at <a href= "https://rainmakerthinking.com/book/the-art-of-being-indispensable-at-work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RainmakerThinking.com</a>.</p> <h2>Increase Your Ability to Influence</h2> <p>We teach leaders at the UN and other global organizations how to increase their influence.
