In the design and construction industry we have primarily focused on management as the predominant skillset needed for success. However, the old model of simply “planning the work, and working the plan,” is no longer all that is needed to success in our business. As an industry, we need to shift from being order takers, to being value generators, and that requires far more than management skills. What is missing and needed is a new kind of leadership, capable of influencing and inspiring real change to impact the cultural traditions and behaviors that have hindered our industry and stifled real innovation for far too long.

Most people think that presence is something you are just born with. Not true. Presence is actually a set of skills, both internal and external that virtually anyone can develop and improve. Presence impacts how you show up, how you connect, and how you speak. However, it’s not easy to make these improvements. It requires giving up some bad habits and changing some behaviors. But the investment is worth it if you want to build trust and credibility, and strengthen your relationships to enhance collaboration. Bottom line, developing presence will make you a more effective leader.
