I was recently on an owner’s panel at Chicago Build. Great owner’s focus on being innovative and impactful! They are committed and responsible during design and construction. If you want to be a great owner, hire great people on both sides of the table and do the following: Trust: Provide a safe space. Respect: Provide respect not rules. Respond: Provide what is needed. Empower: Provide autonomy with accountability. #architecture #engineering #construction #maintenance #design #innovation #leadership

Architects, your facade isn't working. It requires more transparency and so do you. Transparency builds trust, autonomy and security. It’s not necessary to share everything, context is all important. By not allowing for transparency your team are denied all the necessary information or context they might require. Sharing information about fees for a project, for example, can assist the team in understanding how the project is tracking and if there’s a need to find more efficiencies. Some of the practices that performed the best during Covid let the staff know the practice was facing financial challenges. It built trust, prepared staff for reduced hours (if necessary) and they were more accomodating as well as more loyal. Support your staff. Transparency about their performance should happen regularly, not just at annual reviews. As Brené Brown observed, “Clear is kind, unclear is unkind.” #architecturalpractice #architecture #leadership #coaching #unmeasured _____ If you like this you should also subscribe to my fortnightly Useletter.

The sixth step in the Eight Steps of Appraisal Preparation is to Follow Up on your meeting. There may be questions that you might not get an answer to straight away - your line-manager might not have the final say in the matter. So it's a good idea to schedule a follow-up call or meeting in a few weeks. Remember not to give up too easily. Achieving your goals is a process that requires consistent effort and not just a single conversation! The Appraisal Preparation workbook will help you identify what you need to work on to have a successful appraisal meeting.

🏗️ Ambitious goals from The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) UK. Aiming to enhance productivity in the construction sector by 25%. Here's what they have in mind: 1. Better Preparation: Efficient planning processes combined with cohesive team efforts could potentially yield a 17% productivity increase. 2. Better Building: Embracing modern methodologies, investing in skill upgrades, and reducing errors are steps towards a projected 7% boost. 3. Better Business: Digital empowerment for SMEs and strategic data utilisation might contribute another 2%. What do you think? Something achievable? The signs seem pointed that way! https://lnkd.in/e-x3cvWd #UKConstruction #StrategicVision #IndustryGrowth Keara Lafferty Paddy McDade Shane McEntegart NECTO Search & Selection

Learning from architects: transformation, simplicity and passing it on.   I learn from all the business leaders and owners I work with. Like my recent chat with architect Richard Tinto.   We discussed all things business, like Richard’s vision and strategy for future growth.   One thing that really stuck in my memory was Richard’s answer when I asked him what he does. What’s the result for the customer?   “Transformation” he replied. “We help our customers transform the space they have into what they want. It’s much more and richer than the physical properties of what’s built.”    Richard described other aspects of his business and how it is, unsurprisingly, consultative and involves much to-ing and fro-ing.   What struck me most, however, was how he summed it up in that one word: transformation. I like the simplicity.   It fitted our surroundings that day.   We’d met at Greyhope Bay and I mentioned to Richard that Gokay Deveci, Professor of Architecture was Greyhope Bay’s architect. Then Richard told me that Gokay had taught him, at RGU’s Scott Sutherland School of Architecture. Gokay’s words about Greyhope Bay are on the wall:   “I think there’s one thing more valuable than anything else. It’s to do with the people who have dreams. People who want to achieve something can look at [the Greyhope Bay centre] and say “yes, it can be done.” It might take ages, years, pain, but it can be done. It gives hope: I think that’s the most wonderful thing about this project. I think of other people with big dreams. This for them.”   The transformation message is being passed on through generations of architects. I like that. #SME #Governance #Leadership
