Book Recommendations
Do you wonder why your construction projects struggle to make money and your company is always in the red? Could it be that your estimating strategy consists of throwing a bunch of line items against the wall and hoping they stick? Poorly written estimates lead to all kinds of issues including low profits, stressed out production teams, unhappy customers and under-performing organizations.
Stop the madness.
In this book, Be Intentional: Estimating will help you and your team develop a better plan for approaching estimating and achieving your goals. You are closer than you think. Stop weighing yourself down. Stop stunting your profits. Intentionally develop your processes.
If you want a better culture, the first step is to STOP doing those things that are undermining your development. This alone will help your growth. You accelerate this reduction of dysfunction by STARTING to identify and act upon those habits that enhance your culture. Applying both the stop and the start and you will soon be making noticeable advances towards your goals. We know bad culture when we see it, yet it may not always lend itself to clear definitions.
- Taking care of your culture is critical to taking care of your people.
- Taking care of your people is essential to taking care of your customers.
- Taking care of your customers is the foundation of a sustainable business.
Author Jon Isaacson, The Intentional Restorer, uses a unique blend of narrative, personal experience, and humor to bring life to otherwise dry concepts. His third book in the Be Intentional series, So, You Want To Be A Project Manager? is a primer on the mindset and habits for success as a project manager. If you are wanting to pursue a career in project management, this book will encourage and challenge you on your journey. If you are responsible for hiring and training project managers, this book will help you reinforce the roles and responsibilities of the position. If you are an owner or a manager, this book will help you communicate the process to your team.
