Description

Project Management Mistakes Leaders Make and How to Fix Them with Clint Padgett In this episode, I’m joined by Clint Padgett, Navy veteran, accomplished CEO, best-selling author, and one of the most respected voices in project management today. Clint has spent more than 30 years helping global teams deliver high-stakes projects, from Coca-Cola’s Olympic activations to massive international initiatives across industries. We break down the common project management mistakes leaders make — and more importantly, how to fix them. Clint explains why people avoid real conversations, how miscommunication derails timelines, and why shifting the “worry curve” is the secret to avoiding last-minute chaos. His insights on conflict, culture, accountability, and team ownership will change the way you think about leading complex work. If you’ve ever wondered why your projects feel harder than they should, or why your team struggles with clarity and follow-through, this conversation will give you practical tools you can use immediately. In this episode: Why teams avoid conversations that matter How small misunderstandings turn into major failures The truth about conflict and why you need it How to shift the “worry curve” and eliminate last-minute panic Why people—not software—make or break your project How leaders can build clarity, accountability, and commitment Connect with Clint Padgett: Project Success: https://www.projectsuccess.comClint Padgett: https://www.clintpadgett.com If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and share it.
