Judgement Integrity
Project Manager, Construction - (City withheld for privacy), Georgia, United States
When arriving the first day, and throughout career, do not be afraid to make a judgement call. Take appropriate action when the group cannot, and or will not voice an opinon, in fear of failure and ridicule, to make on the spot choices. Be willing to accept ramifications of an individual choice made on the job. Do not make judgement calls based on fear. Make decisions to keep the project moving, even if your call fails all together, or in pieces. I would much rather have an employee make a call to maintain momentum, right or wrong. Finally, always have a pen or pencil, something to write on, and a tape measure.
