Jak być liderem, gdy Twój projekt pędzi 100 km/h? Zarządzanie projektami i rodzicielstwo

Your project is hurtling at 100 km/h into a corner, and you have zero influence. Imagine: your son is racing down the track, taking a sharp turn, and you're standing behind the barrier with a tire iron in your hand, knowing you can do absolutely nothing. Zero influence. Complete responsibility rests with him. How do you learn to live with such a moment? And what does it have to do with project management, leadership, and human development? In this episode, I speak with Andrzej Koniuk – a financier, fractional CFO, author of a book on Lean management, and creator of "From a Mechanic's Diary" – a series that shows motorsport from the inside: from the excitement of the paddock, through budget strategy, to decisions made under extreme pressure. For years, Andrzej has been not only a father, but also a mechanic, coach, logistician, and project manager – all rolled into one – supporting his son Filip in his karting career and now in the Renault Clio Cup. They started with a karting school in Sosnowiec. They ended up competing in the FIA ​​World Cup in Malaysia, achieving two podium finishes in the German and Austrian Championships, and making their debut in a European racing car. Without a factory background. Without family connections in motorsport. With just one used kart and the philosophy: "We have a talent for hard work." 🔧 What are we discussing in this episode? 🏁 Why? How the field chose Filip—and what it means when your project meets you, rather than you inventing it. 🗺️ A vision of the end and a finish line without a finish line—when the goal isn't a trophy, but the person who stays along the way. 👨‍👦 Filip's project stakeholders—family, mechanics, fans, sponsors, and rivals. Who's really in that kart? 📊 Telemetry, Data, and Facing the Truth—How to Analyze Competition Results the Way a Company's PnL Is Analyzed 🧠 Mindset and Three Questions After Each Race—A Simple Method to Help You Not Fall into Defeat or Rest on the Laurels of Victory 💰 The Currency You Really Pay for—Not Just Money. Time, Absences, Tires Removed with Your Bare Hands Three Minutes Before Qualifying ⚡ Stress and Zero Impact—What Does a Father and Mechanic Feel When They See Their Son Accident on the Track? And How Can You Learn to Trust Him? 🔄 Change as a Permanent State—How to Manage a Project Where the Rules of the Game Change Every Season, Sometimes Every 10 Minutes on the Bavarian Track 🚀 Courage as Strategy—You Don't Have to Know Everything. Not All the Lights Have to Be Green. You Just Have to Get Started. 💡 Who Is This Episode For? For anyone leading an ambitious project: business, family, or personal, wondering how to stay on course when resources are scarce, when the environment changes, and when results don't always reflect the effort. For parents who support their children in realizing their dreams and seek a language that neither overly controls nor passively cheers them on. For managers and leaders who want to see project management principles in action—not in the training room, but on the racetrack. 🔗 Find Andrzej Koniuk: Articles: From Mechanic's Journal: Random Access Memory, or the Clio Cup at Nogaro! https://francuskie.pl/z-dziennika-mec...
