The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has published a report on the progress made by the industry to improve building safety, in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The report sets out how the CLC and the wider industry have taken forward work in relation to 5 key areas: 🔺 Leadership and Culture 🔺 Safe Design 🔺 Safe Construction 🔺 Safe Products 🔺 Safe Occupation The report concludes that whilst progress has been made, much work remains to be done to fulfil the CLC’s ambition of an industry in which culture, behaviours and competence have been transformed to deliver safe buildings. It also sets out the ongoing work in relation to building safety, one of the CLC’s 4 strategic priorities, and notes that this work will be reviewed in the light of the publication of the Phase 2 Report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

A college degree or your family name isn't going to give you respect in construction.🤯 In this industry, credibility isn't handed out with a diploma. You earn it by getting your hands dirty, making mistakes, and wanting understanding the reality of the job site. Too many people walk in thinking their degrees or a last name entitles them to respect, but respect in this field doesn't work that way. At all. It's earned through sweat, failures, and lessons learned. If you want to lead in construction, your education is just the start. True leadership comes from experience, or caring to know what it feels like to be in the trenches and having the humility to learn from those who are in it. Don't just wear the title. Earn it, believe me.... we'll know if you did. Repost, like and comment with your thoughts... 📸- Dues Paid #Construction #Disruptor

“One can for example, hire mere technical ability in engineering, accountancy, architecture or any other profession at nominal salaries. But the person who has technical knowledge plus the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people-that person is headed for higher earning power.” Dale Carnegie

This is only one article - but the highlights are breathtaking. #Grenfell #lessons Clarity of accountability is a powerful tool to optimise management of risk - the complexity and lack of accountability in this case is shocking. Once again #culture #leadership and #riskmangement appear to have failed. What is the tone at the top of your organisation? Equally shocking are the seven years and £170m it took to complete the work. I hope there are consequences where appropriate and changes are made.
