You're facing conflicting stakeholder opinions on project direction. How do you navigate towards a consensus?
"When facing conflicting stakeholder opinions, I focus on a solution that integrates the core values of purpose, ethics, and adaptation. I begin by facilitating a transparent discussion where each stakeholder's viewpoint is acknowledged and understood, ensuring everyone feels heard. I then align their concerns with the overall project goals, emphasizing the long-term purpose and mission. By finding common ground based on the project’s purpose, and encouraging flexibility in approach, I guide stakeholders toward a consensus that aligns with the strategic objectives while adapting to any challenges or changes that arise. Ultimately, this process helps foster buy-in from all sides, leading to a more effective and unified path forward."

What do you do if your construction team is resistant to authority and decision-making power?
Most people, including many leaders, think of leaders as the people in charge—the decision-makers, the authority. Yet, another approach is to view the leader as performing a service for the group or team. Robert Greenleaf, who worked for almost 40 years at AT&T argued that to develop a successful organization, leaders are obliged to make followers’ welfare a priority and to serve followers by providing for their needs and responding to their concerns. “The organization exists for the person as much as the person exists for the organization”. It is the “millennial” mindset and personality of today’s young professionals that have highlighted the need to adapt to (or at least have an understanding of) a servant style of leadership.

What do you do if your team is showing signs of burnout?
Stuck in the antiquated modes of thinking and working that brought success in the past, market leaders simply accelerate all their tried-and true activities. In trying to dig themselves out of a hole, they just deepen it. The primary failure here is that the organization doesn't alter its vision, and course, based on those dramatic shifts in the business environment. The most powerful visions are end-user-focused and simple for everyone to understand. An unfortunate paradox is that the simpler the vision is, the more complicated it is to implement. Making things easy for your end customers means that leaders have to cross many turfs and break down silo walls within and outside the organization.

What do you do if your problem-solving efforts are constantly met with setbacks and challenges?
To press on in the face of difficulty, organizations and leaders must have a “North Star” (i.e., a core purpose they strongly believe in that anchors a given organizational initiative and guides their decision-making; (Dallas, 2015). This “star” is typically embedded in the company’s vision and mission. Sadly, a company’s vision is often used as a marketing and public relations tool rather than a guiding principle for management. Just as organizations are constantly evolving, an organization’s vision should also be evolving. Organizations, especially large ones, have a natural tendency to follow established patterns of behavior—even in response to dramatic environmental shifts.
