Everyone on the team knows the project is struggling yet no one speaks up. Read the status report and things sound reasonably fine. Yet the project is barreling into a death spiral.

Lipstick on a pig. No matter how thick you try to cover it, reality always wins.

Effective leaders have a firm grasp of reality. As Jerry Weinberg observed in "The Secrets of Consulting" (Dorset House, 1985), "It may look like a crisis, but it's only the end of an illusion."

This insightful and entertaining keynote session looks at key illusions that threaten success as we lead projects and people. 

Daugherty brought Andy in to present a keynote to our mutual customers and prospects on a gloomy Fall day at the race track. Andy’s energy and enthusiasm brought a ray of sunshine into the tent, and partnering with him was the best bet of the day! The event was a huge success, and we plan on working closely with Andy in the future.
