In this episode, I welcome back Kevin Torf, CEO of T2Group, for a deeper dive into his book Getting the Job Done. Last time, we only scratched the surface. This time, we explore the full “PROJECTS” framework he’s developed over decades of project leadership in healthcare and tech.

Kevin walks us through each letter in the acronym: Planning, Reflection, Organization, Juggling, Empowerment, Communication, Teamwork, and Standards. What stands out is his clarity; each principle is practical and grounded in experience. Whether it’s understanding the difference between planning and organization, or why multitasking actually slows you down, Kevin makes it real with examples from his work and life.

We also get into what makes a meeting meaningful, how leaders can delegate without micromanaging, and why reflection isn't a luxury; it's essential. One of my favorite parts? His take on ego in leadership and how true teamwork requires letting go of needing credit.

This episode is loaded with insights for early- and mid-career leaders trying to navigate complex projects and build high-functioning teams.

As Kevin says, “ You don't want the plan to be articulated and dictated by a single individual because then the team doesn't have that burden of responsibility. You want the entire team to feel that they are accountable for the success of that plan and responsible for executing it.”

That’s a message we could all reflect on.
