In this episode, Ricardo discusses the challenge of saying “no” in project management, a struggle for many who aim to help. He warns that each impulsive "yes" may sacrifice scope, schedule, quality, or team well-being. Sharing his experience of overcommitting, he learned that saying “no” is an act of leadership. He uses three guiding questions: 1) Is it aligned with the project's strategy? 2) Do I have time, budget, and people for it? 3) Does it add measurable value? He suggests offering conditional options with a “no, but yes” approach. Saying “no” with data, clarity, and respect not only protects the project but also strengthens relationships and shows care for the team. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Nest episódio, Ricardo aborda a dificuldade de dizer “não” em projetos, algo comum entre profissionais que desejam ajudar. Ele alerta que cada "sim" impulsivo pode comprometer escopo, cronograma, qualidade ou a equipe. Ricardo compartilha sua experiência negativa ao aceitar pedidos extras que sobrecarregaram o time e prejudicaram o projeto. Ele explica que aprender a dizer “não” é um ato de liderança e propõe três perguntas-chave para avaliar novas demandas: 1) Está alinhada ao objetivo do projeto? 2) Há recursos para isso? 3) Gera valor mensurável? Caso seja necessário, use o “não, mas sim”, oferecendo alternativas condicionais. Por fim, ele ressalta que dizer “não” com respeito e clareza fortalece relações, protege o projeto e a equipe.

Jennifer Peterson, Manager of Continuous Improvement at Muscatine Power and Water (MPW) in Muscatine, Iowa, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share insights about her approach to problem solving. Jennifer's mission at MPW is to reduce frustration for coworkers through process improvement and problem solving. Working in a utility that provides critical services and never shuts down, Jennifer explains that prioritization is essential. At MPW, safety concerns come first, followed by reliability issues. Jennifer shares a practical example of how they tackled the recurring problem of squirrels chewing through utility lines by installing special pole wraps that prevent squirrels from climbing, significantly reducing outages. Rather than accepting this as an inevitable issue, her team actively sought solutions. When it comes to collaboration, Jennifer believes in inclusivity. She prefers having more stakeholders in the room rather than too few, aligning with Jamie's philosophy that problems can't be solved in isolation. Jennifer employs several facilitation strategies to ensure all voices are heard, especially from quieter team members. Her preparation includes learning about participants beforehand, sometimes through conversations with their supervisors, and creating a comfortable environment for contribution during sessions. Jennifer connects problem-solving effectiveness to the organization's mission. MPW revised their mission statement in 2023 to empower Muscatine residents and businesses to thrive, which has helped employees see the direct impact of their work. This connection to community creates natural motivation, as employees often serve their family members, friends, and neighbors. For tackling complex problems like safety and reliability, Jennifer recommends breaking them down into smaller, less intimidating parts. She draws a powerful connection between this approach and psychological safety, noting that when problems seem less overwhelming, people are more likely to embrace solutions and understand different perspectives. After 17 years at MPW, Jennifer recognizes the challenge of blind spots that come with long tenure. Her team documents processes for potential single points of failure and questions long-standing practices. They also use benchmarking and comparative data to challenge themselves, recently shifting from measuring against industry averages to top quartile performance. She notes that MPW's culture embraces holding themselves to high standards, with leadership promoting a standard of excellence throughout the organization. Jennifer combines her MBA from Western Illinois University, Bachelor's in English from St. Martin's University, and certifications as a PMP and Lean Black Belt to bring both analytical rigor and clear communication to her continuous improvement work.

In this episode, Ricardo reflects on the end of Skype's cycle. Created in 2003 in Estonia, the application revolutionized online communication, allowing free voice calls and being essential for families, companies, and project managers. Acquired by eBay in 2005 and by Microsoft in 2011, Skype lost ground to more modern solutions such as Zoom, WhatsApp, and Teams. Ricardo highlights that the end of a project or product does not mean failure. Everything has a cycle: beginning, middle, and end. Recognizing when to end something responsibly is an essential skill in project management. Success lies in fulfilling its purpose, not in lasting forever. The end can also be a sign of success. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo reflete sobre o fim do ciclo do Skype. Criado em 2003 na Estônia, o aplicativo revolucionou a comunicação online, permitindo chamadas de voz gratuitas e sendo essencial para famílias, empresas e gerentes de projetos. Comprado por eBay em 2005 e pela Microsoft em 2011, o Skype perdeu espaço para soluções mais modernas como Zoom, WhatsApp e Teams. Ricardo destaca que o fim de um projeto ou produto não significa fracasso. Tudo tem um ciclo: início, meio e fim. Reconhecer o momento de encerrar algo com responsabilidade é uma habilidade essencial na gestão de projetos. O sucesso está em cumprir seu propósito, não em durar para sempre. O fim também pode ser um sinal de sucesso. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

In this episode, Ricardo explores the concept of “Risk Lensing”, the idea that risk is shaped by individual perceptions rather than objective data. He uses the example of a child climbing a tree to show how various people can have different perspectives on the same event. Understanding how stakeholders view opportunities and risks is more important for effective risk management than formulae or spreadsheets. Ricardo places a strong emphasis on cooperation, empathy, and listening. Asking people what really troubles them is a good way to manage risk since risk exists in the minds of those engaged, not the project. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo explica que o risco não está no projeto, mas na percepção de quem o observa. Ele ilustra como diferentes pessoas têm perspectivas diferentes sobre o mesmo incidente usando a metáfora da criança na árvore. Chamamos esse conceito de Risk Lensing. A percepção de cada pessoa sobre possibilidades e perigos é influenciada por seu papel, cultura e experiência. Quando os planos de risco desconsideram essas opiniões, eles falham. A resposta? Estabelecer mapas cooperativos, prestar atenção às partes interessadas e compreender seus problemas. Como o risco existe no cérebro das pessoas e não em planilhas, a gestão eficaz de riscos exige empatia e escuta. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

Many things we once widely accepted as true and considered non-controversial galvanize intense debates.Leaders are often advised to stay neutral, to not get political when these issues come up in their organizations.Of course leaders should be mindful of what they discuss, how, and with whom. But that isn't the same as being apolitical or neutral. In fact, our collective discomfort with being political often has less to do with neutrality and more to do with avoiding discomfort or even silencing conversations outright.When leaders stifle discussions because they fear losing control, that's not neutrality, that's avoidance. And avoidance doesn't make a space safe; it makes it fragile.As leaders of teams from different backgrounds, lived experiences, and viewpoints, it is neither responsible nor possible to be truly neutral. But what we can do is create cultures of openness, generosity, and meaningful discussion. And in a time when science, health, food security, education, and mental well-being are being politicized, it's essential.In the second part of this series on science communication, my guest is an incredible leader, scientist, and science communicator.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses how to handle stalled negotiations, using the U.S.–China trade tensions as a case study. He highlights that project managers often face deadlocks not due to unsolvable problems, but due to repeated arguments. Instead of pushing harder, Ricardo suggests pausing, reframing the issue, and focusing on interests rather than positions. Key tactics include identifying hidden constraints, involving a neutral party, breaking negotiations into smaller parts, and revisiting the BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement). Ultimately, success in negotiation lies in rebuilding trust, finding common ground, and fostering collaboration, not in winning, but in moving forward. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo aborda como lidar com negociações travadas, usando o impasse entre EUA e China como exemplo. Ele destaca que, muitas vezes, o problema não está nas posições (prazo, dinheiro), mas nos interesses por trás delas (confiança, reputação). Ricardo sugere mudar a perspectiva, incluir uma terceira parte ou dividir negociações complexas em partes menores. Avaliar o BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) também é essencial. O objetivo não é vencer, mas avançar promovendo colaboração. Pergunte: “O que é necessário para avançar hoje?” Isso pode destravar soluções e restaurar o movimento nos projetos.
