LISTENING: MORE THAN WHAT MEETS THE EAR

A PM who is unable to understand the business vernacular of the stakeholder and lacks the patience or will to find another means of exchanging knowledge (e.g., through visualizations or third parties) will frustrate both themselves and the stakeholder and eventually find themselves unplugged as the stakeholder presses the eject button for future engagements.

Stated differently: A PM acting in the traditional project executive role is “up the creek without a paddle” if they lack business acumen in the domains traversed by the project.

Thanks George.
Re: “challenge-based discourse”
That statement seems embedded in most minds of engineers working in projects
that are multi-disciplined.
It feels like a prelude to "a boxing match."
Not productive though.
Cheers,
