#016: Emotional Intelligence for Contractors with Brent Darnell
Like it or not, the construction industry is moving toward a more collaborative project delivery approach. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and lean construction delivery approaches are growing in popularity, and the days of simply executing a project to meet plan, spec, budget, and schedule will soon be a thing of the past. Project Owners Are Buying An Experience, Not Just a Finished Product. In Episode 16 of the podcast, Brent Darnell (www.brentdarnell.com) sheds some light on the field of Emotional Intelligence and talks about how we contractors can use it to get an edge in our personal and professional lives. Be sure to head over to www.brentdarnell.com to view the videos, resources and courses Brent has available. The science behind Emotional Intelligence is fascinating. Enjoy!
