Who are your key people on site?

For too long, the key people on-site making the building go up don't get enough credit. These are your site managers, foremen, or even that crew member with natural leadership abilities and influence on-site. While project management and operations is something you can learn from text books, influencing and driving people on-site to get the job done is not.

Management is operations and control, and building is motivating a team to execute.

Project owners need to identify who these key people are, and ensure that they have the right tools to help them multiply their influence and execution on-site.
