Wall construction

 In the abstract, walls are assemblies of multiple functions:

1. exterior finish
2. support for exterior finish
3. air barrier
4. thermal insulation
5. vapor barrier
6. structure
7. interior finish

Professionalism

I sent this email to my team:

I expect each of you to do your job and do it well.

 

The goal of becoming a professional is not an overnight phoenix (rebirth from ashes). It is more like the construction of  a building. One begins with a foundation and then makes additions as one pursues the specific segment of architecture that one wishes. One does not build one’s professionalism and career in a vacuum. It takes mentors, professional organizations, coworkers, bosses, subordinates, and outside consultants.

 

One outside consultant I have used makes a free to public podcast and for those that register, online public forums.

 

Their mission is:

• Every Manager Effective®
• Every Professional Productive®
