Ep.1116 - What, When, What For, and What about Crystal Balls
In this podcast we cover:
- What crystal balls you have on your roles.
- When you should look into them.
- What you are looking for.
- What you will do about it.
In this episode, I draw inspiration from The Rings of Power to talk about crystal balls in construction. Just as the Palantír helped leaders see the future, we too have tools that give us foresight, production plans, field walks, budgets, procurement logs, and more. The challenge is not identifying them but using them with discipline. I break down how superintendents and project managers can schedule time to review their crystal balls, what to look for when they do, and how to take action before small issues become big problems. If you want to sharpen your foresight as a construction leader and keep your projects flowing smoothly, this episode is for you.
