Leadership in Construction

I am pleased to share with you the latest episode of the Leadership in Construction Podcast.  In this episode I am joined by Jessy Gomes who is a Health and Safety advisor.  

Jessy moved to the UK from France to further her career in construction health and safety and during her time in the industry she was met by challenges.   

In this episode we talk about why leaders play an important role in welcoming and supporting people from all backgrounds into the industry.  

Thank you to Jessy for her insights and experience on this important topic!   Check out Jessy's TedTalk: https://youtu.be/LzsZvsPm52s

Thank you for joining us for part 2 of our conversation with Julie Bronsteatter.   In Part 2, 7 weeks have past since we first spoke with Julie and over that period I have undergone a mental fitness boot camp to build up my mental reliance and learn more about positive intelligence.   Honestly, it has been a life changing process and I have learnt skills that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I was sceptical at the start, but going through the process of the boot camp I found that the exercises were impactful and actionable at work and in life from the start!   I am a firm believer that, if we want to change the construction industry as I do, then we can't do it without being more mentally fit.   I really hope you enjoy this episode and get a lot of value out of it!

Why is caring an important skill to leadership? 

If you want the people you lead to care about the things that important to you, like deadlines, budgets, organisational goals, etc. You need to first invest your time, each day, each week, to really get to know the people you lead and care about whats important to them.  Remember the little details, their name, their spouses' name, their pet's name, their hobbies, etc.   

When you start to care, then big things will start to happen.  I recommend that you go read 'A Busy Leader's Guide to Caring Leadership' by Joe Deiciano and watch our podcast episode from season 1.
