🎧 Episode: The 30-Minute Stakeholder Reset

🎙️ Delivery Manager Weekly with Mario De’Cristofano


Stakeholder drift is real — and it’s deadly for delivery.

In this episode, I'll lay out a sharp, 3-step reset framework for Delivery Managers to realign with stakeholders, clarify direction, and restore delivery momentum — all in 30 minutes.


🔍 You’ll learn how to:

  • State the situation without triggering defence
  • Expose misalignment with laser-precise questions
  • Re-contract the relationship for faster decisions and fewer surprises

Use it in 1:1s, group reviews, or exec sessions — this isn’t about politics. It’s about leadership.

🧠 Includes a downloadable cheat sheet for immediate use.

play

03/14/25 • 29 min

Here's a podcast description that ties both topics together effectively:


🎙 Episode Title: Delivering in Volatile Environments & White Privilege Bias

In today’s episode of The Delivery Manager Daily, we tackle two critical challenges in the world of Agile and IT leadership: navigating volatile delivery environments and understanding the impact of white privilege bias in decision-making.


🔹 Delivering in Volatile Environments – Whether it’s market uncertainty, shifting stakeholder priorities, or unexpected team disruptions, delivery managers are constantly faced with turbulence. We’ll explore strategies for maintaining stability, adapting frameworks under pressure, and leading teams through unpredictable challenges without losing momentum.


🔹 White Privilege Bias in Leadership & Delivery – Bias—whether conscious or unconscious—affects hiring, promotions, and team dynamics. We discuss how systemic privilege influences decision-making in the workplace, the hidden biases that shape delivery outcomes, and how leaders can actively foster more equitable environments.


💡 Key Takeaways:

✅ How to structure Agile teams for resilience in volatile conditions

✅ The role of psychological safety in high-stakes deliveries

✅ Recognizing and addressing privilege bias in leadership decisions

✅ Practical steps for creating inclusive teams that thrive under pressure
