Leaders Never Give Up with Clint Padgett ( RECORDED APRIL 2020 )
Clint is the President and CEO of Project Success Incorporated.
He is a published author, teacher, and expert in team building and the art of conversation.
Since joining PSI in 1994, Clint has been helping leaders and their teams implement repeatable, sustainable strategies to deliver high-stakes projects on time, on target. Clint’s vast level of experience positioned him to reshape the landscape of project management to better reflect today’s new business models. With the modern organization becoming more fast, agile, and highly reactive, it’s imperative that companies use a method that’s proven to actually work in the real world – not with tools that are just new and trendy at the moment. And that’s exactly what Clint brings to the table – a collaborative, actionable approach that leads to team commitment and buy-in even in a matrix organization. He delivers the knowledge and motivation that, when applied to strategic initiatives, transform businesses and create a competitive advantage.
Clint is a ForbesBooks Featured Author, ForbesSpeakers Thought Leader and frequently speaks at conferences on the subject of project management and teamwork, including the Executive Education program in the Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is an adjunct professor.
Clint's first book, The Project Success Method, is a unique, proven, and fire-tested methodology that allows companies, groups, or managers to learn and develop consistency in the way they plan, schedule, manage, control, and close projects on time, per spec and within budget-- in as little as 5 days.
Agile development has ushered in an obsession with adaptive planning and continuous improvement. But the collaborative effort of cross-functional teams that it relies on is all too often built without a strong foundation. Clint’s current book, How Teams Triumph: Managing By Commitment, provides the missing blueprint. He is a proponent of conversation as opposed to communication; these days, leaders and team members alike often communicate well, but conversation brings clarity and that ensures the right things get done.

Leaders are Dealers in Hope with Dune Nguyen
In 1983, Dune arrived in Canada as a landed immigrant after a life-changing journey from Vietnam and 2 refugee camps in Indonesia. Three years later, he got a part-time job programming computer software while still in grade 10 and learning English as a second language. All that fun and excitement distracted him from his earlier dream of becoming a school teacher. He went on to enjoy a rewarding career in information technology, working with many public and private organizations across North America.
In 2006, he founded a leadership & management consulting company, based in Western Canada. When 2010 rolled around, he was invited to facilitate business, management, and leadership courses for universities and colleges. His career took another turn, back toward his teenage dream of teaching.
Today, he enjoys a dynamic mix of executive coaching, management consulting, university teaching, corporate training, workshop facilitation, and keynote speaking. All of those activities are aimed at helping managers develop the leader within.
