Ballard Marine Construction’s Post

We love having Michael on our Business Coaching Team! For those of you who have worked with Michael, how would you describe him?

Mission accomplished in Lawrence, KS! What a GREAT team George Grieb has assembled! This team is primed and ready to climb to the next level and beyond. I wouldn’t want to be their competition because they are preparing to play at an entirely new level. It’s a privilege to play a small role in their BIG picture! #teambuilding #workforcedevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #culturaltransformation #electricalcontractor #construction #electricalconstruction #constructionindustry

Emily Warren Roebling's story is a testament to the power of dedication and overcoming challenges. This remarkable woman stepped into a pivotal role during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge when her engineer husband fell ill. Despite having no formal training, she took meticulous notes, managed resources, and even communicated with engineers, ensuring the project's continued progress. Roebling's story reminds us that success in construction is not limited by background, but by our willingness to learn and adapt. Key Takeaways: Overcoming Obstacles - with dedication and perseverance, we can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. Learning Agility - a willingness to learn new skills and adapt to unforeseen circumstances is crucial for success in construction. Diversity and Inclusion - Roebling's story exemplifies the value of diversity and inclusion in the construction industry.

Melvin Gravely II, executive chairman Triversity Construction, led his team on a journey to bring clarity and a collective voice to their story of growth and vision for the future. How do you celebrate your minority-led status as part of who you are, but also show it doesn’t define your limits for continued growth and success? Check back next week to watch his story.

Once you get past the visual awe of it, while out on the Embarcadero today, I thought about the profound leadership symbolism of the Bay Bridge: the bridge is actually several structures with distinctly different systems, strung together to form about a 8.5-milecross-bay roadway, nearly 4.4-miles over water, nearly 2 miles from San Francisco to Yerba Buena Island, including a twin suspension bridge with central spans of over 2310 feet. Isn’t it the same in the complex business systems through which we must often times find creative ways to merge seemingly conflicting processes/viewpoints in order to reach a unified global solution? Rarely is there just one linear route to the solution, and there is rarely only one function/team capable of ‘bridging the gap’ between the present moment and the desired future state. Suspension bridges are constantly put under enormous stress, yet there is diversity of intention coupled with a harmony [and deep, calm grounding] with which all systems work together — eliminating any silos of responsibility— and instead creating a synergy of [often times unpredicatble] agility and, ironically, a concrete, unmovable strength and foundation at its core — to connect what once seemed to many impossible junctures. Are we including everyone/ giving everyone a voice on our current initiative? Whose perspectives on our current project are we disregarding? Are we positive that all the right people are invited to the discussion table? Whose viewpoint might shift our trajectory upward and provide the clarity we are lacking, while elevating the capabilities of our team? ”If we cannot see the solution, we aren’t thinking clearly enough.” #leadershipdevelopment #learninganddevelopment #globallearning #traininganddevelopment

Being a team is a powerful force that propels individuals to achieve their goals. When we come together, we bring a diverse range of skills, perspectives, and ideas that complement each other. As a team, we support and encourage one another, pushing each other to reach greater heights. We celebrate our victories together and learn from our failures as a collective. We understand that success is not an individual endeavor, but a collaborative effort. Together, we can conquer any challenge and overcome any obstacle. With our Prospecthill Court site teams unwavering commitment and shared vision, there is no limit to what we can achieve. So, embrace our differences, and work towards our common goals, for together we are unstoppable. Managing sites can be difficult, took me a long time to realise it is not us against them. But rather all of us. Together. #lookoutforyourteam #kierconstruction
