PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills (Leadership)
Hey there, IMPACT Driver!
You know that feeling when you are called in to rescue a project and you get to be the hero? The adrenaline is pumping, the stress is on, and you gotta admit…this is fun…at least a little. 🙂
You probably also realize that when you act as a firefighter, again and again, you are letting your project people off the hook of learning better behaviors that will ensure future project fires are prevented. Instead of being a firefighter or perhaps, dare I say, a fire starter, we must walk a fine line to ensure that we rescue the project without rescuing our people.Â
Tune in to this episode to learn why rescuing our project teams can be a dangerous business and how to turn that project around while teaching the team a better way forward for next time.
Thanks for taking the time to check out the podcast!
I welcome your feedback and insights!Â

Great post! It rang true in so many areas. Rescue the project not the people. Review the risks and/or consequences for rescuing others. Acti as a fiduciary for the company as a whole – so true.
