266: Are You Responsible?

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills Hey, IMPACT Driver!  A dear friend read me a passage from a book that made me think of you. It was about problem-solving and knowing what you should and shouldn’t own. Delivery leaders often feel powerless over problems they think they can’t solve or responsible for solving issues they shouldn't.  But here’s the kicker: just changing one simple word can put you back in the driver’s seat.  In this week’s podcast episode, I share that eye-opening passage and some practical techniques to shift your mindset. Discover how this one word can revolutionize your approach, help you prioritize effectively, and empower your stakeholders to take responsibility for their own problem-solving.  Tune in, download, and keep this episode handy. It’s a mind-shifting reminder that you’ll want to revisit anytime you are stuck when trying to solve problems.  Enjoy!  P.S. Have you registered for the IMPACT Summit yet?
