Have you ever worked on a project that went completely sideways? One of those situations where mistakes get made, tempers run high, and all attempts to course-correct fail.

Everyone gets so caught up in protecting their own behinds that team dynamics and performance devolve even further.

When a team gets to this unhealthy place, a reset is needed.

A post-mortem meeting is an effective way to reset team dynamics and improve team performance—if it’s run well by a cool-headed facilitator.

I break down how to run a post-mortem meeting.

How to Recover from a F**k Up

Everyone makes mistakes at work. Yes, even we type-A personalities that want to think we are flawless.
