Todd Takes The Importance of Human Connection in Construction: The human element remains the central factor for success in the construction industry. Effective communication and the ability to understand different perspectives are crucial for achieving project goals. The Power of Empathy and Expression: Having the courage to care, showing empathy, and expressing your opinions effectively are undervalued skills. As Peter said, "It is too easy to let things just passively evolve. Stand up and take ownership."
