ARB’s research into culture and misconduct found that misconduct is felt to be rooted in a chain of structural and cultural factors, including excessive workloads. Architects told us that a culture of unsustainable long hours can be discouraged by managers setting the right example by:  - Not working unsustainable long hours   - Not incentivising long hours  Learn more about the research and how architects think culture can be improved ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eHjyEsKJ

In over two decades in the architecture and construction industry, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of collaboration. No single discipline can stand alone; the success of any construction project hinges on the seamless integration of efforts from architects, engineers, contractors, and clients. When these diverse stakeholders come together with a shared vision, innovation blossoms, waste diminishes, and trust is established, ultimately driving projects to completion on time and within budget. Yet, we still face significant barriers to collaboration, such as inconsistent communication and unclear project goals. To navigate these challenges, we must embrace technology and transparent communication, creating a culture where each voice is valued. As we move forward in the industry, how do we cultivate environments that not only promote collaboration but also empower every member of the team to contribute their best?

When we work on a Trusting Team, we feel safe to admit our mistakes, be honest about our shortcomings, and ask for help when we need it. Simon Sinek Trust is essential in the AEC industry, where transparency, accountability, and collaboration are paramount. Cultivating a culture of trust enables teams to openly address challenges, learn from mistakes, and support each other, fostering innovation, resilience, and high-performance outcomes.

When I opened the doors to McKissack & McKissack, there were many uncertainties: I stepped away from a stable career, I didn’t have a roster of clients, and there were very few people who looked like me in the #AEC industry. What I did have was a mantra: hungry, humble and smart, the model Patrick Lencioni talks about in his book “The Ideal Team Player.” What does that mean for McKissack & McKissack? Hungry: We have an insatiable appetite for success. We embrace challenges and are constantly seeking growth and new opportunities. Humble: Humility is the cornerstone of our team dynamic. Humility drives us to make decisions for the collective good, removing any and all ego from our process. Here, we listen to each other, give credit where it’s due regardless of a title, and take accountability as a team. Smart: We aren’t just engineers and architects. At McKissack & McKissack, we value emotional intelligence because we know that’s what builds strong relationships. We’re also adaptable, flexible and agile. No two days are the same in this industry; we know that, and we embrace the uncertainty. That mantra continues to guide us as a company–we’ve worked tirelessly to create a culture where growth, diversity and innovation are at the forefront of our decisions. That is why people love working with and for us.
