THE "GETTING TO A YES" SERIES 4: THE EXECUTOR

 

THE 

"GETTING 

TO A YES" 

SERIES 4: 

THE 

EXECUTOR!!

Hello Folks,

I guess you are doing great and making the best of the rest of the month.

I'm glad to be here on the final lap of a series that got me sharing insights from my experience managing people on projects.

Through the "Getting To A Yes" Series, I have been able to specify the parties you mostly need a yes from in other to succeed on a project. Here is a quick recap to keep you on track 👇

THE SPONSOR; who sees the vision, sets the pace and keeps the project manager on his/her toes.

THE INFLUENCER; not necessarily visible but important as they have the capacity to influence the sponsor.

THE EXECUTOR; those you finally assign the job to administer and maximise resources for a project on your behalf.

While my previous posts addressed the sponsor and the influencer, my final post on this series will beam the spotlight on the EXECUTOR 👇


#1: 

WHO 

THEY ARE

 (PLOUGHMEN)

These are the folks who get their hands on the plough after receiving a rebound version of the vision from the project sponsor through the lenses of the project manager, consultants, designers etc.

Depending on the structure of the project, the executor usually consists of the contractors, sub-contractors, artisans, suppliers, supervisors, team coordinators and the likes.

Please note that the ploughmen can be many things to you, but one thing they never deserve is to be maltreated.


#2: 

WHAT 

THEY NEED

 (CLARITY)


Being the last to be engaged, it is easy for executors to be misled as the intended vision for the project may get watered down through the chain of communication, hence the need for clarity.

To get the best of executors it's important you speak the same language, and this is not limited to English, Spanish or any other language known to humans.

Employ instruments like line drawings, B.O.Qs, specification sheets, contract terms etc when engaging executors, as this will help you track progress, address issues and expose grey areas that could result in setbacks for your project


#3: 

HOW TO 

WORK IT

OUT

(BALANCE)

While it is common for some executors to be self centered, caring less about your interest but more about their gains, it is equally important to note that there are many of these folks who will go the extra mile for your project to succeed.

As much as you can, have measures in place that allows for a balance between firmness and accessibility, and this can be achieved by having:

- a standard operating procedures (S O.Ps) for your projects.

- a team of professionals like team Consult Kenny who helps you put all of these together and ensures the job is done well.

We are just a click away 👇

THE  "SECOND  CHANCE"  SERIES 2: BEAUTIFUL EXCHANGE!!! Hello and Happy Easter Peeps, It's that time of the year when we remember and celebrate Divinity taking a second chance on humanity. Coincidentally, the essence of Easter celebration is in complete sync with The "Second Chance" series, where I seek to help my audience take a second chance on some crucial elements within their spaces. My last post aimed at helping you resolve dysfunctional layout, and I'm quite confident you have gained some insights on different shapes of spaces and how to best utilize them. Now let's have a look at what I love to call the "beautiful exchange", a concept of how you can reuse worn out or 'out of fashion' items in your space, making them more appealing, and having a positive impact on your space. I should mention as I proceed that there are several ideas to achieving beautiful exchanges, however I would categorize them into 3 aspects namely 👇 #1: FAC...

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean 👇   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago 💭🤔 Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) 🙈 Location: College of Technology, Yaba...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 4: THE SEASONS I LOOK  FORWARD TO!!! Hi folks, It's good to be here again, and I guess you are having an awesome time this summer. As a way to bond with you, my exceptional audience, I launched The "About This Time" series, reflecting on cycles of seasons of my life that spans from year 2004 to 2024. I hope it's been worth following. Below are nuggets of insights gained from my previous posts on this series: ✅ Boredom can become the tool with which we TRANSITION into a better version of ourselves, provided we are with the right people in the right environment. ✅ As we go higher in life, chances are high we put on a magnifying lens on our achievements and accolades. There is a call to action for us to look back and appreciate the days of LITTLE BEGINNINGS. Now as I delve into the seasons I look forward to, let's have a look at recent events that serves as indicators to my expectations for the future 👇 #2024: SEASONS ARE IN ...
