This week Richard Young and I visited the Construction Engineering Masters University of Cambridge to talk about nature-related risks and emerging policy and regulations #TNFD #CSRD #EUDR #CBAM #CSDDD 🌏Carbon and climate impacts and risks of the construction sector are already fairly well established. 🍃 There’s a way to go before the full picture (climate AND nature) is a widely understood, and before relevant mitigating actions and positive interventions are standard operating procedure across these high impact supply chains. ⛓️💥 That’s not unique to construction, it’s a similar story for most sectors now. Wether standards and policy shapes up to enable this remains to be seen. But it’s clear that the wheels are starting to turn (in the right direction!)

If you’re a company owner, C.E.O., or President, before you pay for leadership training for your reports, please consider taking the training yourself. My experience is that upper management is willing to provide the training for their employees, however, they don’t consider it for themselves. Effective leadership is part of a company’s culture and this means it must be practiced at all levels with no exceptions. Our employees may make every effort to apply what they learn in class, but if their managers don’t exhibit the same effort in bringing consistency to the practices, they have little chance of being sustained.

A management style where each leader has a highly cohesive team can speed up project completion but can also lead to the formation of cliques, excluding and underdeveloping employees within the same department. This approach may provide temporary gains but can hinder the organization's long-term viability and limit the development of new leadership.

In this fascinating feature, published in the February issue of Ambition, Pierre Casse and Elnura Irmatova of Iedc-Bled School of Management discuss the benefits of elaborating the concept of LQ, or leadership quotient, for a new generation of managers https://ow.ly/yU0Z50QAcV0
