Season 4 - Episode 4 - Why do some People Struggle with Change? Do you find it stressful and frustrating when you try to implement a change to make the organisation or the team better and you are met with resistance if you have it's only natural to want to reject something you don't know. everybody has to go through the process of letting go of their current reality and moving through into the new reality where all the innovation and opportunities are. leaders play a vital role in making sure that their entire organization or team moves through the pendulum of change to the space where everyone is accepting of the new reality and embracing all the opportunities that come with it.

How Leaders Set the Vision

Season 4 Episode 2 - How Leaders Set the Vision [TRIGGER WARNING: TALKS OF SUICIDE] Perhaps one of the most important but most difficult job of any leader is too set the vision, the purpose, the 'Why'. Its then even harder to communicate that to their team or organisation. In this episode, I talk with Dean Barton who is a seasoned business consultant in the construction industry who strongly believes that leadership starts at the top of any team or organisation. It is the leaders job to set the vision or direction of the team or organisation and communicate that in a way that inspires action. Dean also shares why setting the vision and purpose is essential to aligning the teams (on site and in the back office) to work as one rather than a 'them and us' culture. Dean speaks from experience having worked his way to the top of senior management in construction now works with all construction companies big and small to coach and advise on how to grow and be successful. Dean highlights how commercial roles (FD, Senior QS, Commercial Manager) are often promoted to the head of the organisation, and whilst these roles are essential to a functioning construction company, you can run an organisation from spreadsheets and numbers. "Never forget, there a guys on the site doing the work" Dean tells us. Dean tells us that these people skills, or leadership skills are not just nice too haves for a better business. They are essential to making people in the team or organisation feel protected and supported. In this episode we talk about the impact from the high rates of suicide in construction and what practical steps leaders can do to help they people working on our jobs.

How to Lead with Intent

Episode 1 - How to Lead with Intent Welcome back to the Leadership in Construction Podcast! It's been almost a year since we last published an episode. After such a long break our passion and commitment is ever stronger to help leaders in construction to be even better than they already are. Each week we publish three episodes; Tuesdays are "Deep Dive" which is a solo episode where I give a talk on a leadership concept. Wednesdays are "Insights" which is back to the longer guest interview episodes giving you insights and new perspectives on leadership in construction. and Fridays are "Live Leader" where I will be going live for a short solo episode on LinkedIn. This episode is our first "Deep Dive" in which I go through how rigid plans never survive and why leading with intent is so much more successful. When we lead with intent we empower our team to think for themselves and use their own skills, knowledge, and experience to find solutions and a way forward to achieve the intent or objectives.
