Leading in the Field with Emotional Intelligence – Part of the Field Leader 2.0 Series
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is recognized as one of the most powerful indicators of success in any business and it is especially important on a construction site. Becoming more aware of how EQ impacts performance, teamwork and engagement is the first step to becoming more successful in stressful jobsite situations.
Continuous Improvement
The world is always changing and always adapting. When we are asked to change and adapt with it, that can be tough. Whether it is a new piece of technology, a new process, or even a new teammate, we are constantly asked to evaluate and implement. At Wohlsen Construction we have five core values, continuous improvement is one of those five. We are taught to reflect on the process of a task or project to help identify waste and eliminate it. While eliminating waste in an organization can sound negative, it is not. Eliminating waste is essential to aid the development of employees and increase organizational efficiency.
