Episode 177: PM Podcast Leadership Series: The Cure For The Common Project

Play Now:

/>In this episode we begin what I hope is going to be a great journey here on the program. We are starting “The PM Podcast Project Leadership Series. The idea is that for the rest of 2011, we are going to return again and again to the topic of project leadership by bringing you interviews with experts from the field of leadership.

We launch the series with four interviews that I did with two authors of project leadership books. The first two interviews are with Rick Valerga (The Cure For The Common Project” and then you will meet Thomas Juli who wrote “Leadership Principles for Project Success”.

However, the first author that you are going to meet in this episode is Peter Taylor, because Peter Taylor has once again published a new book based on his blog “The Lazy Project Manager”and he is donating the proceeds to the Japan relief effort. I suggest that you go ahead and stop by at The Lazy Project Manager and buy this book for a good cause.[Update: the website is no longer available, so we removed the link]

If, however, you would much rather WIN a book, to be precise if you would like to win a copy of Rick Valerga’s “The Cure For The Common Project” then you are in luck, because we are giving away 2 copies. One copy (as always) is reserved for our premium listeners and the 2nd copy can be grabbed by anyone. To participate in this giveaway, please go go www.facebook.com/pmpodcast, look for the book giveaway and simply leave a comment.

Episode 176: One More Question...

Play Now:

Did you notice that in past few months, if you listened all the way to the end of some of our interviews - and I mean, really ALL the way to the end, after I say "until next time", after the music has faded out - that there was more. That we sometimes added another short segment?

Usually, this segment started out with me saying: "I have one more question for you" and then our interview guest would usually have some anecdote or story to tell? Well... if you haven't heard them, you can always go back and listen to them.

But to tell you the truth... when I said "I have one more question for you" .... I lied. Because usually, I had TWO more questions for them. And in today's episode you are going to hear the SECOND "one more question" that I asked them.

You'll hear the following guests one more time:

  • Peter Taylor
  • Pam Stanton
  • Frank Saladis
  • Mark Philips
  • Elizabeth Harrin
  • Jeff Furman
  • Steve Kaye

Last week we welcomed 5 bloggers on the program to take a look back at what's been going on in PM over the past few months. So let's turn around and look into the future.

I wanted to know from our group what they think is the cutting edge of PM today, what trends they see, what trends they would like to write about, what they feel is missing from the PMBOK® Guide and if they see anything in the horizon that will come after Kanban, Scrum and Agile.

The bloggers that you will hear from today are:

If you yourself have a blog and would like to be part of The Pulse then let us know to be included.
