Description

In this episode, I challenge the traditional “magic triangle” of process management - time, cost, and quality—by proposing a fourth, often overlooked dimension: employee energy.


We’re used to balancing speed, budget, and outcomes. But what if burnout, stress, and emotional exhaustion are the real factors slowing down your processes? Drawing on the JD-R model (Job Demands–Resources), I explore how integrating psychological and physiological resources into the classic triangle creates a more realistic, sustainable “magic tetrahedron.”


From delayed projects and rising costs to declining motivation and quality, emotional energy has direct consequences for every key business metric. And it’s time we treated it as a core resource, not just an HR afterthought.


Join me as I connect project management theory with human-centred insights - bridging operational logic with emotional intelligence.


🎧 Tune in and let’s rethink how we manage performance- together.
