In ‘Life Quakes’, a project manager notices his team is falling short of targets. Hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Dr. Woody Woodward discuss the importance of two-way communication, understanding your team’s challenges, and clearing obstacles for them…not just trying to motivate them from afar.

Once you understand the hurdles, your job as a manager is to remove those blocks and help your team find success.
