Project success is often viewed through the lens of schedules, budgets, methodologies, and tools. Yet many projects still fall short despite having all the right processes in place. So, what really determines whether a project succeeds or fails?

In this episode, we explore the hidden behavioral drivers that shape outcomes inside teams and organizations. We'll discuss the difference between accountability and ownership, why fear can undermine performance, how leaders can foster greater engagement and decision-making, and why conflict and tension may be signs of progress rather than problems. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the human side of project success and what it takes to build behaviors that drive lasting results.
