Developing takes vision. Building takes courage. Executing takes commitment. But it is our team work that makes the dream work... #building #success #australianproperty #australianrealestate #landdevelopment

85. There’s something about the open road—leaving Auckland early, heading south, and letting the miles blur together. This drive isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s a chance to reflect on the plans for the year, think about what’s ahead, and even enjoy the rare quiet moments. It’s these moments on the road where clarity often hits. The best ideas, the boldest decisions—they rarely happen sitting at a desk. Where’s your go-to place to find clarity and focus? #RoadTripReflections #SouthboundJourney #LeadershipInsights #USLMultistrut

Heading home to Perth with a lot to reflect on. This trip has been more than just business as usual. Here are five key takeaways: 1. I was introduced to the skill/will matrix, a tool for assessing strengths and weaknesses. It’s a game changer for me and something I’ll use to grow both personally and professionally. 2. A valuable meeting with a key customer based in Sydney reminded me how critical relationships and customer input are to your future strategy. 3. I’m more excited than ever about Fleetwood’s national opportunities. The potential is immense, and I’m eager to be a part of it. 4. During three days of training, I challenged myself to listen more than I talked, ensuring my contributions added value every time I spoke. 5. The trip reinforced how modular construction can address the housing crisis, but only if government regulations catch up with the speed and efficiency modular offers. Looking forward to what’s next and to getting back home to my family! #BusinessTravel #Construction #Growth #Leadership #ModularConstruction

https://buff.ly/3WtP00L Collaboration is a powerful tool that can drive success and innovation. By working together, we can leverage our collective strengths and achieve greater outcomes than we could individually. The synergy of our team allows us to tackle complex challenges with creativity and efficiency. Teamwork is not just about dividing tasks; it involves combining diverse skills and perspectives to reach common goals. Studies have shown that teams that work collaboratively can increase productivity and creativity by up to 25%. This is because teamwork fosters an environment where ideas can be freely exchanged and developed. Each member of the team brings unique abilities and insights, which, when integrated, create a stronger and more effective unit. Remember, the power of our team lies in our ability to connect, communicate, and co-create. Thus, teamwork truly matters in achieving excellence and driving meaningful progress.

"Yes, planning is a contested space that involves a range of perspectives, ambitions and viewpoints; but does it need to be so confrontational?" In his latest column for The Planner, Craig McLaren laments the paucity of true collaboration within the planning process. But the pilot Scottish National Planning Improvement Framework, which puts an emphasis on collaboration as a measure of local authority performance, may provide a pathway to change.

3 Ways to Balance Flexibility and In-office Culture Now #inofficeculture #companyculture #business #humanresources

Great reminder of a seemingly simple concept that we all forget from time-to-time. Thanks, @Cynthia Farrell. Great photo as an illustration. It makes me think of projects I worked on as a kid with my dad. I would get in a hurry and he would always stress "Slow down, son. Let's plan this out and get it right the first time." It also makes me think of how I have seen many companies waste money on sales training. So many times, executives are unhappy with the sales organization's performance, % of salespeople on quota, pipeline and forecast accuracy, etc. So, they bring in the latest sales leader's chosen sales training organization to teach their sellers how to sell. Great. Without taking the time to fully plan for how their organization will support the new methodology, tools, language, and proposed behavioral changes, they later find they have just wasted precious time and money only to have to tear it all down when they replace the sales leader 18 months later to do it again. As Cynthia pointed out: 🧨 Individual leaders and teams think they're going in the right direction, but everyone is charging down a different path. 🧨 Everyone is working harder than necessary. 🧨 No one is willing to admit and learn from mistakes. 🧨 Resentment and distrust builds. Thanks for the reminder! #SalesEffectiveness #SalesPerformance #SalesLeadership
