Lessons from the Roman Mob for Project Managers

In Lessons from the Roman Mob and for Project Stakeholders I talk about how around 52BC, the Roman mob was comprised of Plebeians as they were called or working class people. Individually they weren't that powerful, but together, they created a mob that changed the Roman empire. In projects, our stakeholders can start to sew dissent like the Roman mob did.So, how do we address the mob mentality we see building in project teams and redirect that energy into efficient and collaborative work?Listen to hear the mobDetermine where there are truths and where there is false informationAddress rudeness and unprofessionalism earlyEscalate if neededRe-baseline the team and move onJust as Pompey in ancient Rome quelled the mob, so too can modern project leaders restore order and ensure the project's ultimate success.
