Unlike many other project management roles, construction project management covers a lot more. For example, not only do you need extensive knowledge of construction, then specialized knowledge in the area that you are currently undertaking the project.

Businesses are entities that are designed to sell products or services. While data and administrative guidelines might regulate their processes, their mission remains the same. Businesses need to offer a people-centric view of the market. Whether they focus on their employees or their customers, companies can’t afford to ignore that people are their most precious assets. As a result, creating a company that puts people first is a no-brainer.

Here’s a challenge for you. Tomorrow, ask your staff to describe your company strategy. Could they do this quickly and accurately? If the answer’s yes, congratulations! You’ve nailed one of the Rockefeller Habits, meaning you’re more likely to achieve the growth you crave. If the answer’s no, you’re not alone. Many of the businesses I coach are vague about their direction of travel and this communicates itself to staff.
