Go and see. It’s one of the most effective and meaningful ways to learn. In reality, it’s the only way you will truly understand some things. How do you measure the value of onsite presence with your team, and connecting leaders to the processes that make the business run? Our operations leadership just returned from a 3 day project tour, touching down on 5 projects and coast to coast travel. The insights together were eye opening. It was incredible to feel the energy at the sites and see the effectiveness of site leaders with their teams. Building a business is exciting, building a great team is even more exciting; but building meaningful relationships and having amazing experiences with the people you are surrounded by everyday, it’s priceless. Every time I spend time with our frontline team members I come away so inspired and feel so much respect for our team and what it takes to go out everyday and make the work happen. The stories of rain, heat, hazards, headwinds, and hurdles that our teams overcome are downright amazing! I tip my hat to all of my friends and colleagues in the construction industry! Few occupations are more demanding and dynamic! The call for grit, commitment, character, and teamwork makes the reward of a successful project feel so incredible! What a great industry to be part of!

One of the things that excites me most is watching young professionals catch a gear in their careers and growth. Attending LCI this week to see James, Corie, and Jakob presenting on lean principles and practices in the construction industry was inspiring and rewarding. For those that missed it, here are the 6 Tenets of Lean Construction: - Respect for People - Optimize the Whole - Generate Value - Eliminate Waste - Focus on Flow - Continuous Improvement Their presentation shared a case study of these principles in action on several of our sites, and how important it is that companies in our industry take ownership of investing into people and innovative processes to improve safety and efficiency for our team members, the company, and our clients. Great job, team!
