Project Management Happy Hour

028 - Embracing the Escalation: raising visibility without raising your blood pressure


Listen Later

Management escalation, oh, no! When issues get escalated to our managers and executive stakeholders, our hearts sink, a sweat breaks out and we start to freak out. But should we? Maybe we should "flip the script" and think of escalations as good and even necessary - when done correctly.

In today’s show, Kate and Kim talk frankly about management escalations, and how, in some circumstances, a PM isn’t doing their job if they don’t raise some issues for management attention

PLUS, Kate gives Kim a brief Improv lesson!
