Welcome to the third episode of Property Done Properly, an educational and entertainment podcast in Real Estate, Construction and Facilities management covering the whole life cycle of a project from inception to realisation.Ian continues his coverage of his five pillars with the second, team. This includes a number of considerations including key leadership attributes, organisational structure and design, capacity and competence, strategic planning, industrial relation challenges and key outcomes. KEY TAKEAWAYSThe key attributes of leadership including good communication skills, confidence, integrity, empathy, inclusivity, resilience, vision, innovation, passion, self discipline, decisiveness, charisma and loyalty.Awareness of the culture of your environment is important. This relates not just national and religious cultural rules and habits but also the nature of your team. Is the culture one that respects a strict or more fluid hierarchical structure? Is it driven and hard working or more relaxed?Ensure the correct capability, capacity and competence of your team. Is the right mix of skills present? Are those skills available in a local workforce or will they have to be found further afield? Organisational design encompasses who will be added to your team and at what point. Is there enough literal physical space for them and at what point in the project will it become available? Will the location and nature of that space allow for easy communication and operation?Your strategic plan should set out your communicative structure and ensure your reporting organisation and hierarchy. Good industrial relations and a centralised project specific employee policy can avoid conflicts and disputes. The role of multiple languages should be considered.At the finish of a project the key outcomes should be outlined. Consider the concept of a successful project for all your team as well as your client. BEST MOMENTS‘Organisational structure, in the construction industry in particular, is a hard industry. It's out there in the field dealing with raw materials with different trades with different personalities. It's a tough and tumbled type of business to be in.'‘So we have a culture where junior members of the team may have some valid observations and things to bring.'‘It soon became evident that the normal bricklaying masonry skills that existed on this particular project were not appropriate for putting this together. They didn't know how to sort it out.'‘And currently there are a number of resource skill shortages post pandemic for a number of different reasons.'‘So suddenly that had a delivery on a Friday afternoon and nobody on site because they weren't aware that the customer practice was that everyone finishes at lunchtime.' VALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://www.ianjrogers.com/ ABOUT THE HOSTIan Rogers is an entrepreneur running businesses in the Real Estate, Construction and Facilities Management arena.
