EP 166: Building, Executing and Winning Through Effective Strategies That Empower Teams - Jeff Schwisow
Empowering your team to be their best and execute effective strategy
Jeff Schwisow is Australia's thought leader on the power of a ‘project mindset’ to achieve and execute a strategy. He lives and breathes projects – leading them, studying them, fixing them and using traditional project management processes to discover how a team can tap their real potential to deliver exceptional outcomes for the business. This show is about creating and executing a strategy and how we genuinely empower and lead teams to achieve the set objective.
Here's what we discuss in this week's show:
