Episode 106 Overtime: Dealing with Jerks as The Project LeaderIn the last episode, Margaret Meloni, MBA, PMP and Cornelius Fichtner, PMP explored how to keep your cool when you are dealing with Jerks at work. However, there is an increasing focus on project managers in regards that they are now expected to become project leaders. This means that you not only have a lot more responsibility but you also will need different skills. So we are now going to jump a lot deeper into this subject and look at this topic from the point of view of a project leader.

We look at how you handle jerks on your projects in such a way that everyone can walk away feeling good.
