Constructor: What Behavioral Science Can Teach Us About Why Projects Go Sideways

But some of the most persistent issues on projects don’t come from flawed schedules or poor coordination—they come from something more human: how we think. The truth is, our brains are full of shortcuts. They're built to help us survive, not necessarily to thrive in the fast-moving, high-stakes environment of a... read more

Constructor Magazine: Culture Is Built on What We Celebrate
What we choose to recognize says everything about what we value. In construction, we often default to celebrating the most visible efforts: the last-minute saves, the all-nighters, the people who jump in during a crisis. Too often, we wear long hours like a badge of honor in this business, swapping war stories about rescuing projects from the brink. I’ve heard countless tales—lost weekends, late nights,... read more
