Description

Jason shares the merit badge analogy: caring hard and doing your best has almost no correlation with whether a project actually succeeds. Success comes from productive paranoia, double checks, fresh eyes meetings, and relentlessly hunting down roadblocks, not from good intentions alone.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why performance and project success are not correlated
• The two separate merit badges of caring and getting it done
• Why productive paranoia earns the getting it done badge
• How top performers can still let a project fail
• Why awesome teams are most at risk of skipping double checks

If you believe your effort alone guarantees your project's success, the honest question is whether you have actually checked every corner for problems, or just assumed your best was enough.
