Virtual Job Walks
Virtual Job walks!!
Just talked to a VP of a very large electrical contractor and he walked a job today for 90 minutes – virtually – took notes along the way and then had a face time debrief with the superintendent who carried the phone.
They are using a GoPro and are recording a different job tomorrow.
Recognizing the field office chasm needs to be bridged this is a great way to do that in these crazy times.
PEs and PMs should get to the field but these days this is harder than ever. The virtual site visit is a good way to connect, at least, and inspect, if need be.
Give it a try.
" ...it was one of the most dynamic and interesting talks I have ever witnessed on general leadership and effective management. I thought it was very interesting to see how you approached the topic from the bottom up -- from the grunt's perspective. This made the topic very easy for me to relate to and gave me ideas on how to develop the leaders I am responsible for."
