Every project has its unique challenges, but true project leadership is about more than just delivering on deadlines—it’s about legacy, self-leadership, and navigating complexity with confidence.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeanette Cremor (JC), a seasoned expert in project management with over 25 years of experience across government, higher education, and utilities. JC is the author of Real Project Leadership, where she shares a powerful framework designed to help project leaders move beyond processes and into purpose-driven leadership.

What We Cover in This Episode:
The Legacy Mindset—Why every project should be approached with the question: If it ended today, what impact have you left for tomorrow?
The Three Pillars of Real Project Leadership—Self-leadership, practice, and solution leadership, and why these matter more than traditional project management methods.
The Power of Emotional Intelligence—How “mirror moments” help leaders develop self-awareness and resilience.
Common Pitfalls in Project Leadership—Siloed teams, shifting priorities, and change resistance—and how to navigate them effectively.
Shifting Mindsets for Success—How embracing legacy-driven leadership creates lasting impact.
Building a Culture of Trust and Collaboration—Why project sponsors should be involved in setting shared values from the start.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone leading projects—whether you’re new to leadership or a seasoned professional looking to enhance your impact and effectiveness.

Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!
