About this listen
Unleash your team’s potential to succeed.
Today’s workplace has evolved. Yet the strategies to empower employees and teams are still maturing. Getting the Job Done fills this gap by providing a practical framework to inspire teams and keep them accountable for ultimate success. Rather than impose a single method to make you a better project manager, Getting the Job Done gives a flexible strategy that will help you lead confidently, take advantage of all the perspectives on your team, and get the job done on time without having to sacrifice quality.
Conveyed through 100 educational, factual, and relatable project management tips, T2’s framework will keep your team engaged, responsible, and transparent. Through our “getting the job done” philosophy — the key to how we’ve led healthcare tech consulting
for over 15 years — you will master the building blocks of effective project management, as outlined by our acronym P.R.O.J.E.C.T.S:
- Planning
- Reflection
- Organization
- Juggling
- Empowerment
- Communication
- Teamwork
- Standards
With the compact analysis of each block, followed by clear bite-sized tips, and concluding with T2’s case studies, you and your team will discover and create a new culture that can be used in both life and business.
Elevate your team and organization’s capabilities and discover how projects can turn from overwhelming undertakings into successful collaborations.

The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

Are you a high potential? Your managers and HR department are constantly wondering that about you - and assessing whether or not you have what it takes to advance. Here's how to get them to answer yes. Being seen as a high potential leader is essential to getting promoted and reaching an organization's upper echelons, but most companies keep their top talent list a closely guarded secret. And the assessment process they use to decide who is and isn't a future leader is an even greater mystery.

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.

Ambiguity is the corporate default state, a condition so prevalent that “tolerance for ambiguity” has become a clichéd job requirement. It doesn’t have to be this way.

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.

Ambiguity is the corporate default state, a condition so prevalent that “tolerance for ambiguity” has become a clichéd job requirement. It doesn’t have to be this way.
