My guest on the show today is Kyle Nitchen. I found Kyle through his substack and newsletter called “The Influential Project Manager” - which is worth a follow, btw.
As a senior project manager for Layton Construction, Kyle has built over 350 million dollars worth of hospital wings, Surgery rooms, and urgent care centers all over Los Angeles.
He writes about all things construction, leadership project management on his substack and today we talk about:
Why Project Management in the construction industry is as big of a dumpster fire as it is
How many of the modern tools and methods, from Gantt charts to critical paths, while useful, are incomplete in today's construction environment - and what to do instead
Lastly, he takes us through the 7 archetypes of effective project managers - a simple but powerful framework to develop your PMs with
