Nesbitt Connection Mark Nesbitt

You can't let complacency be what you're remembered for.

In our industry, I’ve observed a growing disconnect between corporate leadership and the boots on the ground. It seems that in an attempt to speed everything up, we’re complicating the processes that used to be so beautifully simple. Don’t set your best people up for failure.

Recently, I’ve undergone some surgery and it’s been an incredible learning experience from start to finish. Along the way, I’ve made quite a few noteworthy observations which I believe are worth sharing, as they may carry important meaning for those in the construction industry and beyond.

Computers are comprised of both software and hardware. One can't work without the other's help.
Companies aren’t much different. In this day and age, it’s easy for the leaders and those in charge to neglect those on the ground doing hard work. This needs to change if you want your company to be successful.

I’m incredibly passionate about helping those in the construction industry do what they need to succeed. It seems nowadays it’s increasingly difficult to find people willing to work in the trades.
Attraction and retention are crucial in times like these. What are we doing to keep our best around?

On this episode of the Nesbitt Connection podcast, I’ll discuss what I call “The Great COVID Hangover” and its negative impact on workplace efficiency and company culture across a variety of industries. I’ll also touch on the importance of regularly talking with your people, along with the dangers of not listening when they just might have something valuable to say.
