Summary

Andy Kaufman: People and Projects podcast Andy Kaufman is the host of the People and Projects podcast and an expert on project management. He joins me in this conversation to explore how to influence a large number of stakeholders. Quotes If we’re honest here, there are some stakeholders that we don’t even want to involve … Even for the difficult people, we have to find a way to involve them. It helps manage their expectations, and it helps manage our expectations. —Andy Kaufman Hope is not a good strategy. Hope is a wonderful thing for mankind, but it’s a terrible thing for projects. —Andy Kaufman If I don’t sufficiently think through who I’m impacting, or who could impact us, I’m not going to manage their expectations. —Andy Kaufman I mistake keeping someone informed for keeping them satisfied. —Andy Kaufman Listen to the other person’s story so well that you can say it as well as them. —Donny Ebenstein Resources Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader* by Herminia Ibarra I Hear You: Repair Communication Breakdowns, Negotiate Successfully, and Build Consensus...in Three Simple Steps* by Donny Ebenstein Essentials of Project Management by Andy Kaufman (use coupon code coachingforleaders-50) Advanced Project Management by Andy Kaufman (use coupon code coachingforleaders-50) Discover More Activate your free membership for full access to the entire library of interviews since 2011, searchable by topic.
