Leaders - Your People Are Lying to You

How can you manage your business if you aren’t getting a clear picture of what is going on with your projects?

Consider the following information before you make a judgement:

- A survey by the Project Management Institute of more than 3,500 global project management professionals revealed that 47% admitted to "altering or misrepresenting the truth about the status" of a project when giving updates to leadership.

- A 2022 study of over 1,000 employees by the company Time Doctor found that only 37% of project managers report their projects' actual statuses to leadership. The majority- 57% - confess to overstating progress. 

- A seminal 2021 paper published in the Academy of Management Journal analyzed over 250 software projects and found for those at high risk of falling behind schedule, 65% of status reports contained outright deception about the true state of progress.
