Project managers rarely get authority — but they’re expected to lead anyway.

In this episode, I introduce a new series focused on project managers as leaders, not just coordinators. We explore what leadership really looks like when you don’t control titles, priorities, or performance reviews, and why influence, credibility, and presence matter more than authority ever could.

This episode sets the foundation for the series, challenging common PM myths and offering a practical, human approach to leading peers, stakeholders, and teams through trust rather than control.

Whether you’re early in your PM career or deeply experienced, this episode reframes leadership as something you practice, not something you’re granted.
