Description

"The sooner they know, the better they can deal with it, and if they're hearing from me that it's not gonna happen. That has a totally different feel than if we wait until they figure out on their own that it's not gonna happen and then are coming back to me for it."

Karen & Paul discuss the importance of timely communication when project deadlines change. They emphasize why it's crucial to inform stakeholders as soon as it’s clear the original timeline won't be met. The conversation explores common reasons people avoid delivering bad news, such as fear of disappointment or repercussions.
