I've only missed one flight and cost me 17 hours and 3,000 mile detour :), so this is personal. If we can get to the airport on time, we should be able to get successors ready on time. But what does it take to make sure you don't miss your flight? 1. Know what time the flight leaves. 75% of CEO's in recent study retired, so no surprise there; 20% resigned under pressure (also shouldn't come as a surprise). In 95% of the cases we know the "departure time" of the incumbent. 2. Know how long it takes to get to the airport, and factor in some potential delays. If we can accurately estimate the time to readiness of each possible successor, we can get them there on time (and ready now, ready later is not an accurate estimate) 3. Make a plan to get to the airport. Often successors are identified, but not developed (the equivalent of forgetting to arrange the Uber). 4. Wake up on time prepared to leave. This is equivalent to having a transition plan in place for the successful candidate so they are fully prepared to take on the new role. OK, I've milked this analogy as far as I can go :) I hope it provides some food for thought. Happy flying. #4 was the reason for missing my one and only flight, I now set 2 alarms.

"Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself" - Seneca In the crane and rigging industry, it is crucial to bear in mind that as an operator, you must exercise patience with those who are in the learning process. When I have new riggers operating around my hook, I always provide them with the opportunity to learn, emphasizing safety as the top priority. During more critical lifts, I ask them to stand aside, observe, and take notes until I am confident in their ability to be in the immediate area. Empower your team and invest time in training your riggers to collaborate effectively with you. Take the lead in guiding your ground team through consistent efforts and clear direction. #construction #craneandrigging #cranes #cranelife #leadership

🛫 Setting an alarm for the departure time of your flight is too late. To cultivate successors that succeed, you need to accurately predict their readiness timeframe, and ensure they arrive on time.

Safety first! One of our very own Foreman, Kenneth Lango, offers some great safety advice. "Always make sure the blade in your carpet and utility knives are sharp. You're more likely to cut yourself with a dull blade." We all play a role in keeping ourselves and our colleagues safe. Today's #constructionsafetyweek topic of #encourageandwelcomenewideas teaches us to value open communication. Leaders who create a safe space for communication and actively listen set the tone for the entire team. Encourage team members to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share ideas. #consolidatedflooring #jobsitesafety #constructionindustry

It’s easy, at every level of leadership, to get caught up in a constant cycle of firefighting where urgent tasks dominate our daily activity. While addressing urgent issues is important, we have to be careful to ensure that this state of leading is the exception - not the norm. Today, I want to explore the importance of shifting from firefighting to proactive leadership. I’m going to delve into the leadership principles that empower us to rise above chaos, stop firefighting, and start leading with purpose. Let’s dive in:

I’ve got to say something here, there is an extremely large amount amount of personnel in positions such as superintendents that have zero accountability. There is more blame placing going on by them than in a courtroom. If you’ve made the mistake, own that. Make it better by learning from it and taking accountability. Don’t go scream at a foreman that had nothing to do with the schedule of the project, then tell the cm and pm it was all of these other variables and a foreman. When you poop it runs downhill, and affects the entire team. Own your mistakes, people aren’t perfect. Above all, set the example and lead with the qualities that you want to see in your company.
