The Project Didn’t Fail — It Just Revealed the Truth
Description
In this episode, Ricardo explains that projects don’t really fail — they reveal the truth about an organization. Projects act as mirrors, exposing hidden cultural flaws like poor alignment, weak leadership, and political decisions. When pressure from deadlines and budgets increases, the organization’s true nature surfaces: silos, egos, and fear replacing collaboration. A troubled project is not a failure but an X-ray showing what is broken and who has the courage to fix it. Crises test maturity and trust, revealing whether teams can speak honestly or stay silent. The real mistake is ignoring these lessons and repeating errors. Ricardo explains that learning from failing projects leads to real growth and invites listeners to explore his new course on recovering troubled projects.
