Positive #CompanyCulture is important in every career. In #construction, a great way to promote positive culture is to facilitate #communication between departments. To properly and enthusiastically present your plan to potential investors, your #SalesTeam needs to have a complete understanding of the project. Give them a leg up by allowing them to see the construction zone from the ground floor. Having the sales team experience a different aspect of the company also encourages #upskilling, #collaboration, and empathy.

Recently, we worked with a dynamic construction company who wanted to streamline their sales, operations and finances! 📍 We supported them in implementing an IT system to do just this by taking the following three stage approach: 1) Information gathering: We undertook a comprehensive analysis which highlighted the intricacies of the teams involvement in the organisation. 2) Decision-making: Armed with this information, we did extensive research into the IT system that would best suit their organisational needs. 3) Implementation: We supported them to manage this change by working closely with team members to facilitate a smooth onboarding process, ensuring expectations were managed and the implementation programme was clear from the outset! https://lnkd.in/d_NTMWSK Check out this case study to learn more! 😃

One of the best bits of any project we put together comes at the very beginning. Our model is built on working without fixed teams. Instead, we bring together teams of brilliant independent specialists from our portfolio, tailor-made for the brief in front of us. Building those teams is a combination of art, science and know-how. To craft the best-suited teams for the work, we need to know our specialists, their personalities, mindsets and their work deeply. With that, through thorough inspection of the brief, we know exactly what the work requires and the right people to bring in. The combination of the tangible, the intangible and our experience in building project teams for briefs across sectors mean that we know how to blend our understanding of people with our understanding of our work to create the perfect teams.

Over the last 2 month I was been tasked to mobilise and stabilise a newly awarded account. It was a mixture of team of crossover from the incumbent members, our own team members and new blood from external sources. The incumbent team had to overcome the change management process, where they were formerly from managing agent and now to integrated facilities managed contract. The team had to be merged to achieve a common goal. It was an awesome team, with daily ’Chop Chop’ discussions, team makan sessions, it was not a team of great strength, rather a team with a mixture of strengths, together in one spirit producing great results. The reault was a great eye opener to me as the operation was stabilised within 1 month, system and process was established, and the expected output was consistent. Together with the team, we were able to achieve this primarily. Being Transparent There is a bible statement, Mat 5:37, All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. The team was told to be open on all subject, and this went beyond work towards the professional relationship with each other, once performance, etc. However the important subject is to convey the facts, without having too much sugar coating. Inclusivity: Created an inclusive team, in our chat group, all matters were shared with openness and frankness and often jokes, let the team speak and run it. Separate chat group of different interest, such as sports, or interest groups were avoided as this tends to subconsciously lead to other discussions which may not be healthy to the overall team or unintentionally create a miscommunication. Team Building: The notion of this often tends to lead that a day or so to be allocated to or go for a cruise, etc. The team was exposed to team building daily with our ‘Chop Chop’ daily brief meetings, real pain points were raised, and the team came up with solutions and even innovative ways of solving it. Collaboration: Integrated Facilities Management, involves collaboration, be it a first generation or seasoned ones. The success heavily depends on the collaboration between the different stakeholders. A successful collaboration will create an incredible result which translates to employee’s motivation that raises the bar of service quality to the next level, automatically though natural motivation. It’s a ‘Awesome’ Team!

The Importance of Planning in Our Personal Endeavors Planning is crucial in ensuring the smooth execution of any project, leading to the desired outcome. But first, let's define what we mean by a "project." Often, we think of projects as large, official, industry base undertakings. However, we manage various projects in our daily lives without even realizing it. Any task you set out to achieve can be considered a project; whether big or small. Whether it's constructing a building, opening a shop, organizing a wedding or naming ceremony, planning a vacation, hosting a concert, or throwing a birthday party, all these activities require effective planning. We've all seen issues arise at events—chairs, poor lighting, electrical problems. On the event day, we scramble to fix these problems, disrupting the flow of the ceremony. I’ve personally witnessed events where the lights go off and organizers are running up and down looking for a generator. Sometimes they leave people standing up whiles they try to go rent chairs. Proper planning can prevent these issues. Effective planning allows you to: - Set clear objectives - Allocate resources efficiently - Identify potential risks and develop mitigation plans - Assign roles to team members in advance - Set expectations and measure performance - Facilitate smooth communication among team. Applying these principles to all your personal projects will lead to better outcomes and a smoother execution process. Start planning effectively today and experience the benefits firsthand. #projectmanagement. #plan

How can you effectively lead a team of property management professionals? Leading a team of property management professionals requires a multi-pronged approach that fosters a culture of empowerment, clear direction, and mutual respect. Here's a deeper dive into some key strategies to consider: Setting the Stage for Success: Vision and Goals: Don't just assign tasks, create a shared vision. Communicate the team's goals and how their individual efforts contribute to the bigger picture. This fosters a sense of purpose and motivates team members to go the extra mile. Industry Expertise: Stay ahead of the curve by actively following industry trends, legal updates, and best practices. Share this knowledge through regular training sessions or internal newsletters to keep your team informed and able to provide exceptional service. Empowering Your Team: Delegate with Confidence: Micromanagement stifles creativity and initiative. Identify your team members' strengths and delegate tasks accordingly. Provide clear parameters and support, but also trust them to take ownership and make decisions within their area of expertise. Invest in Growth: People are your greatest asset. Invest in your team's professional development by providing access to relevant training programs, industry certifications, or software that streamlines their work. This empowers them to tackle complex situations and excel in their roles. Building a Collaborative Environment: Open Communication Channels: A team thrives on open and transparent communication. Encourage a two-way flow of information. Foster a safe space where team members feel comfortable sharing ideas, concerns, and feedback. Schedule regular meetings or utilize communication tools to keep everyone on the same page. Celebrate Achievements: Recognition is a powerful motivator. Celebrate both individual and team accomplishments, big or small. Verbal praise, public recognition, or even small team-building rewards can go a long way in boosting morale and fostering a sense of accomplishment. Leading by Example: Be the Role Model: Your behavior sets the tone for the entire team. Demonstrate strong work ethic, professionalism, and ethical conduct in all your interactions with tenants, owners, and colleagues. Your team will be more likely to follow suit if they see these values embodied in their leader Embrace Challenges: Inevitably, your team will encounter problems. Be a resourceful problem-solver who approaches challenges with a calm and collected demeanor. Guide your team through the process, but also empower them to develop their own critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By implementing these strategies, you can cultivate a high-performing property management team that is not only effective but also finds satisfaction and purpose in their work. Remember, a motivated and empowered team is the cornerstone of a successful and thriving property management business.
