Ever been dropped into a troubled project that’s already gone off the rails? Welcome to life as “The Wolf.” Inspired by the fixer from Pulp Fiction, Kim and Kate revisit one of our most popular episodes—now a PMI Global talk! —and break down how to step in, take charge, and rescue a broken project without losing your cool.
Kim shares his new 3-part formula for project recovery:
-
People first – You aren’t just fixing a plan, you’re fixing an organization.
-
Calm – Calm is contagious, and you can only control yourself.
-
Clarity & Courage – Seek out misalignment, bring truth to light, and have the guts to ask, “Does this project still make sense?”
Of course, Kate keeps Kim honest, adding the perspective (and laughs) that make the tough lessons go down easy.
If you’ve ever been handed a project that feels unsalvageable, this episode is your playbook.
