"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results." – Andrew Carnegie #teamwork #Construction #development #constructiondevelopment #engineering #Technicaloffice #designreview MBG DEVELOPMENTS

🚨 ATTN Cleveland-Area Engineers, Architects, and Facilities Managers—I need your help! 🚨 I’d like to start a Cleveland chapter of the BIG - Building Intelligence Group . Not familiar with BIG? The Building Intelligence Group (BIG) is a cross disciplinary education, support, and networking organization dedicated to delivering data-driven solutions to maximize value for everyone that interacts with the built environment. The catch? I need 5-10 professionals that currently work in the smart building space to join me on BIG CLE’s Steering Committee. We will meet virtually to follow the 30-60-90-day Action Plan for starting a local chapter. The Steering Committee will decide on the local chapter structure, meeting cadence and location, meeting topics, and other ideas to attract members. More and more BIG chapters are popping up across the country, so this is a great opportunity to get involved with a rapidly growing industry organization. Especially good for remote workers or those in the early phase of their career, getting involved and starting a local BIG chapter provides a unique opportunity to build leadership skills, network with others in the industry, and make valuable connections. Leave a comment below and I’ll follow up with more info!

As architects, we can benefit from adopting techniques and ways of thinking that have been refined through years of experience. With the increasing complexity of technology, it's more important than ever to turn learning curves into ramps and adopt the language of the market to make better decisions. In the past, organizations believed that defining their current and future state and figuring out the path between them was enough. However, this was based on a rudimentary understanding of systems as a static nuts and bolts, in which all change was deviation from a steady state. Today, organizations must be able to change their technology to adapt to their needs. As senior engineering leaders, our job is to create the conditions for speed and dynamism within our organizations while satisfying the design goals of change velocity and service quality. Let's help people understand that these goals are not in conflict.

Transforming the world around us and sharing our expertise to reshape the future of design, #engineering, and #construction is at the heart of what we do.     A shoutout goes to Joe Tulumello, AIA, for enlightening leaders of the New York State Assembly on the advantages of progressive design-build (PDB) delivery in public construction projects during a recent hearing. PDB:     🔺 Uses a qualifications-based selection process.   🔺 Attracts a greater pool of prospective bidders.   🔺 Promotes project efficiency.   🔺 Establishes a collaborative spirit.  🔺 Increases transparency.  Watch Joe’s testimony: https://bit.ly/3ROLDOP.    #IndustryLeadership #DesignBuild #PublicConstruction #Architecture

Is professional isolation holding back innovation in architecture? Architects aren't alone in isolating themselves from external voices. And this insular approach can lead to stagnation and missed opportunities. By introducing new ways of seeing and thinking, architects can: → Extend our professional networks → Create goodwill → Open up unexpected opportunities → Gain valuable insights into our strengths and weaknesses How can we encourage more cross-pollination of ideas between architecture and other fields? #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

In both the public and private sectors, centralised leadership has shown significant risks, as seen in high-profile scandals and failures, such as the Steinhoff case and the recent, tragic building collapse in George. The pitfalls of overly centralised leadership, often characterised by 'charismatic' and 'narcissistic' figures, can jeopardise entire organisations. Distributed leadership, however, is essential for fostering a resilient, innovative, and ethical organisational culture. By decentralising decision-making, we mitigate the risks associated with dependency on single leaders and enhance organisational accountability. Moreover, effective governance, particularly by boards, is critical in ensuring that leadership responsibilities are shared, aligning with both strategic goals and ethical standards, as well as how the organization creates, delivers, captures value. In essence, projects and organisations alike require robust governance structures to thrive, making distributed leadership not just a strategy, but a necessity. Ultimately, reputation is our most valuable asset, so we should guard it with our life!! or is that too much of an inconvenience for achieving short-term objectives? #Leadership #RiskManagement #CorporateGovernance

Are architects trapped in an echo chamber? The architecture profession seems content talking to itself. Conferences, symposiums, and talks often feature architects speaking only to other architects. But what insights are we missing by excluding outside voices? How might fresh perspectives challenge and evolve our thinking? It's time for architects to break out of their bubble and actively seek diverse viewpoints. What field or profession do you think architects could learn the most from? #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

As we wind the year down I want to share something I've experienced. In the last month or so I've picked up a few architects and a couple of sizable projects, as a result of a competitors representative not listening to the architect. 1) They care more about pushing product, than solutions. 2) They ignore existing hardware standards (like an existing key system), even when directed by the architect to do so. 😳 Don't be this person! I will never behave in this manner. I have always tried to do the right thing. Integrity is important to me. Reputation is everything! I care! I listen! Sometimes we need to take a look in the mirror, so we don't become the person I mentioned above. #listen #listening #reputation #integrity #dotherightthing #character #honesty #honestymatters #ethics #trust
