"But the truth is that: projects fail all the time. Markets shift. Resources get pulled. Teams miscalculate. That doesn’t make you a failure—it makes you a leader in a real, imperfect world."...now, can we please get more executive leaders out there to treat their people better so they are more comfortable communicating with the 4 P's. I'd argue at least 50% (if not more) of the problem of people NOT doing this is on us as leaders. If someone does try this or any other straight forward way of communicating a miss and accepting accountability, only to be made to be mistreated, belittled, spoken down to, yelled at, embarrassed, or any of the other leadership failures I've seen in my career (Ok, and done, shame on me), or worse yet, they get fired for it...well then, I'd say the leader has failed to create the environment that teaches and encourages people to follow a good communication framework like your 4 P's...
I agree 100%- and you’re pointing out a pov I left out of this post- when YOU are the big boss and someone on your team fails, how to coach them to lead in this way.
