Event Description:

When bad things happen on projects, telling people is difficult. This tough job almost always falls on the project manager to figure out how to give it in a way that doesn’t derail the relationship or the project.

So, why is delivering bad news hard to do? What are the tactics we use to avoid or postpone it? What can we do to get out of our own way so we can work the problem and get results faster?

In this webinar you will get 3-step process to deliver bad news in a positive way for more productive, dialogue driven, solutions oriented results. Based on her Amazon bestselling book Delivering Bad News in Good Ways, you’ll get insight into why giving bad news is so tough, identify the tactics we use to avoid or delay giving it, and learn a process and tips to prepare for and manage the discussion with stakeholders.
