Emotions in Motion: Unveiling Plutchik’s Wheel in Project Management
Description
In this episode, Ricardo talks about the importance of understanding emotions in project management, emphasizing that human challenges often outweigh technical ones. He introduces the "Wheel of Emotions" by Robert Plutchik, which categorizes eight primary emotions into pairs of opposites, helping project managers recognize and manage emotions in themselves and their teams. Ricardo explains how this tool can improve communication and team cohesion by addressing emotions like fear, trust, and disgust. He acknowledges that while the model may simplify complex emotions, it is a valuable resource for non-experts in psychology to enhance emotional awareness in project management.
