They're never identical, but there are always lessons to pull through from various scopes of work.We think of every one of our projects as a small business. We expect our superintendents and project managers to have a high level of financial acumen to run the business, not just build.Every single day, our projects are trying to kill someone. What we do is really, really humbling. We build America, and it's risky; not just financially—it's risky from a safety standpoint as well.Male or female, finding an edge in your career is all about relationships, personalities, and communication.Find someone to emulate, male or female. What characteristics of that leader do you want to become, and how do you go about developing yourself and finding those blind spots within yourself to meet that?
