Project Management Confidence

Jordan and Gabe discuss a listener's question about how to instill confidence in coworkers while managing a difficult project. They consult with Alisa Cohn, a startup coach and expert in handling difficult conversations at work. Alisa advises the listener to create an informal focus group with colleagues to gain more context on the project and its history. She also suggests asking direct questions to identify what has worked and what hasn't, who the detractors and allies are, and what resources or attitudes need to shift for the project to be feasible.
